A photo with a Wagner fighter at the Lithuanian border pillar is another fake

Just like allegedly on the border with Poland.

Pro-military Telegram channels publish a photo of a man’s hand holding a patch with the emblem of PMC Wagner near the Lithuanian border pillar No.0657, allegedly from the Lithuanian side of the border. In fact, this photo, just like the previous ones from the Polish border, is another fake, and here’s why.

• The original photo was published by the Lithuanian LRT in their article in 2020, and there’s no hand.

• The original photo was cropped, rotated a couple of degrees and deformed. They also changed its colors, temperature, and added noise.
• Another confirmation that it’s fake is the analysis of the noise, which shows that the emblem and the hand were added.
