Anastasia Shepilenko, a two-time Ukrainian junior alpine skiing champion and member of the Ukrainian Olympic team, has become the subject of another Russian propaganda narrative. Various Russian news sites almost simultaneously posted the news of the "betrayal" of the famous 23-year-old native of Lviv.

As proof, they posted a video from Red Square showing a girl rejoicing at her move to Moscow.
