On March 13, the Ukrainian President posted a video on his Facebook account in which he visits wounded soldiers.
Internet users wrongly accuse her of having been accompanied by Inna Derusova, a woman who died on February 26.
The woman who accompanied Volodymyr Zelensky is actually Tetiana Ostashchenko, a high-ranking Ukrainian.
Since the beginning of the war, the intox on an escape from Ukraine of president Zelensky and his wife multiply.
Last example, the hijacking of a video published on March 13 on the Facebook account of the Ukrainian head of state.
Volodymyr Zelensky visits wounded soldiers in a hospital there.
He is accompanied by several men and a woman, blonde with short hair, in uniform.

On Facebook and Twitter, Internet users wrongly claim that this woman is Inna Derusova, who would be a nurse who died on February 26.
Some have concluded that the video is not from March 13 and that Volodymyr Zelensky was no longer in Ukraine on that day when the video was posted.
FAKE OFF
The woman attending the visit alongside the Ukrainian president is Tetiana Ostashchenko, as noted by France 24. Her name – in Cyrillic – is partly visible in the 17th second of the video posted on the Ukrainian president's Facebook page.
His name can be seen in full in a higher resolution photo published by the Ukrainian presidency.
In addition, there are on his uniform, in the middle of his torso, symbols of the Ukrainian army, in particular two crossed clubs.
These symbols can be seen in a video from 2016, where the new uniforms of the Ukrainian army are presented.
Searching for his last name and the keyword “army” in Ukrainian, results show his full name and rank.
Tetiana Ostashchenko was appointed on August 24, 2021 as a Brigadier General of the Ukrainian Army Medical Service.
She is the first woman appointed to this position.
Inna Derusova was also engaged in the army.
She was posthumously awarded the medal on December 13 by the Ukrainian president, according to several local media.
Her former university announced her death on March 10 and posted a photo of the caregiver.

Inna Derusova was a social and medical worker as well as a sergeant.
