Emerging story
Social media users have circulated a video claiming it shows heavy firing overhead soldiers in Ukraine.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video is old and unrelated to the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine.
Although we could not find the source of the footage, we found a longer video that includes the clip circulating in December 2018 without any caption.
The footage was also posted to Russian social media platforms earlier in 2018.
Other Twitter users have also mentioned that the video is from 2018 and was related to a military exercise.
Following the Russian military operations in Ukraine, Misbar is working on debunking claims, including pictures and videos, claiming they are related to this crisis.
