This photograph was published with a text on MkDenes under the title "PUTIN ON HIS KNEES before Xi Jinping, Russia before CHINA". After that, apart from being shared on their profile on Facebook, the photo was published on another Facebook page as well where it became viral. [...] The photograph on which Putin – allegedly – can be seen kneeling in front of Xi Jinping is fake. It cannot be found in the databases of any media outlet, nor is there clear evidence that the photograph was not generated by artificial intelligence software.
