Russian propaganda is spreading an AI-generated photograph that allegedly confirms the "mobilization of women" into Ukraine's Defense Forces.

The Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council reported this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"Social media users are sharing a photograph allegedly taken at one of the women's health clinics. The poster shows a Ukrainian Armed Forces servicewoman with the quote: 'Motherhood is not the only path to self-realization for a woman.' Propagandists accompany it with manipulative claims that Ukrainian women are allegedly being encouraged to go to the front directly in medical facilities," the statement said.

In fact, the CCD explained, the image is a fake created using artificial intelligence. This is confirmed by analysis of the photograph using specialized content-verification services, as well as by its original source — hostile anonymous Telegram channels.
