Yesterday a post claimed a Finnish volunteer had died in Ukraine. He’s alive and well.

  1. As translated from the original:^1

    >– Now in August, there has been quite a lot of harassment directly directed at me, mainly on Russian Telegram channels, Järvinen says.

    >It may also involve a rumor of death. The information was spread on Reddit by a username that had no previous posts in their name. According to Järvinen, the attached photos were taken in July of last year.

    >– They have never been put into any public distribution.

    >According to Järvinen, the device containing the images has ended up in the possession of the Russians.

    ^1 Mikko Marttinen (23.08.2023), “Suomalaisen Tomin väitettiin kuolleen venäläisjoukkojen vankina – tavoitimme hänet auton ratista”, https://www.is.fi/ulkomaat/art-2000009803423.html

  2. It was strange. AFAIK only one Finnish volunteer has died in Ukraine and it was on the battlefield and not in captivity.

  3. > “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

  4. I have for a long time felt the individual “dead volunteer RIP in peace” posts here are a russian propaganda operation to try to demoralize

    I can’t understand the morons that upvote those posts

  5. Glad he’s alive. Now we wait for Russian claims about Ukraine using dark magic to create zombies for use as soldiers, lol.
