Emerging story
A video purports to show a dove fluttering during the blessing of the Orthodox Church for Peace in Ukraine and the world.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating claim and discovered it to be misleading. The video is old and has already been posted on January 2022, before the Russian war on Ukraine began. The video shows an Epiphany celebration at Kyiv's St. Nicholas Church in Ukraine.
The circulating claim followed the Orthodox Church's blessing for peace in Ukraine against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing war on the country, which began on Feb. 24.
