The Times profiled an 18-year-old Ukrainian woman named “Luba Dovzhenko” in March to illustrate life under siege. She, the article claimed, studied journalism, spoke “bad English,” and began carrying a weapon after the Russian invasion.
The issue, however, was that Dovhenko doesn’t exist in real life, and the story was taken down shortly after it was published.
