🇺🇦 Yesterday we reported on how Zelensky stripped Odessa mayor Gennady Trukhanov of his Ukrainian citizenship, claiming he holds a Russian passport. The SBU even published photos of the alleged document — but there’s a catch.

In the passport photo, Trukhanov’s surname is written with the letter H instead of KH — “Truhanov” rather than “Trukhanov.” That might look trivial, but it’s not. According to the official transliteration standards published on Gosuslugi, Russia’s own government portal, the Cyrillic Х must be rendered as KH in Latin script. No exceptions.

Even former Bellingcat [CIA op] “investigator” Christo Grozev admitted the passport is fake — though, predictably, he blames Russia and calls it a “Russian intelligence operation.”

So either the FSB suddenly forgot how to spell Russian names in their own passports — or someone in the SBU office got a little too creative with Photoshop while helping Zelensky “deal” with another inconvenient local official.
