Recently, social media users began circulating a screenshot from a front-line Ukraine war report filed by BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen during the Battle of Irpin in March. 

The image shows Bowen lying on his side on the ground and holding a microphone while taking cover at a riverbank. A woman carrying a bag can be seen in the distance walking toward him. 

Scores of Twitter users, in tweets shared tens of thousands of times, have implied or stated directly that Bowen faked being present at the battle in Ukraine. 

BBCs Jeremy Bowen reporting from the dangerous front line in Ukraine while a bemused, well-dressed woman looks on with her shopping. 

Take this tweet from Twitter user Mark Jameson, which has received 16,600 retweets and 74,900 likes. It reads: “BBC’s Jeremy Bowen, pretends to be on the front line, whilst a woman looks on, seemingly bemused.”
