Vosty i thought you were a credible person. :lol::lol:

Users of social networks (Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Twitter etc.) have been informing since November 30 about a 16-years-old pro-Russian girl who was reported to perish in Lysychansk. She allegedly saved her brothers-in-arms by throwing herself under a tank with three F1 grenades. This story was liked and reposted many times.

The source of this fake is an alleged story told by Yaroslav Voskoyenko from Lysychansk, born in 1998: “… I remember the withdrawal from Lysychansk. Darkness, explosions around us, blood before my eyes. were attacked by accurate fire. Valeria Liakhova, covername Pretty Woman, 16-years-old, was living in Lysychansk, in the district of Proletarsk. Her father perished on the front line, she died under a tank with three F1 grenades. Pretty Woman threw herself with three grenades in front of a tank, she sacrificed herself in order to cover the flank. Her life was taken from her by the war when she was only 16, she is a HERO posthumously”.

But, firstly, F1 grenade (limonka or lemon grenade) is a hand antipersonnel defensive grenade. Even three F1 grenades cannot stop a tank.

Secondly, a girl on the photo is not Valeria Liakhova, but Polina Turchina from Krasnodar. She is alive and has nothing to do with the militants of so-called Luhansk People Republic. She has already informed in several publics that she is indignant at the fact that her photo was used in the news about the “perished heroine”.

Dec. 31, 2014

The house of a priest has been burnt in Ukraine's northern city of Chernihiv. The Priest, named Nestor, said he had lived in the house for 12 years and had no problems with the neighbours.

Nestor, priest of Ukrainian Orthodox Church: "I woke up, don't remember when. I heard something striking the iron. I saw a fire on the roof. Then I realized – it's over."

Locals say priest Nestor was planning to build a new church in an abandoned building that needs repairing. Nestor said he switched allegiences from the Russian Orthodox Church to the Ukrainian Orthodox church last year. Russian Orthodox priests said it is unlikely that members of their church branch were involved in the arson.

Varfolomey, priest of Russian Orthodox Church: "For God sake, I wouldn't start such a conflict ever. I'm an Orthodox man, would I burn his house? Tomorrow he would come to do the same then. I wouldn't do that ever."

Leaders of the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches are considered rivals.
