Emerging story
Many social media users have shared a video purportedly showing a young Ukrainian girl cursing a Russian soldier and telling him to "go back to your country."
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video is from 2012 and was shot in Palestine. The video shows Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi, known as the Palestinian icon at a young age, confronting an Israeli soldier.
The video was shot in the Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh, according to many websites that published screenshots from the video in 2012.
However, this is not the first video from Palestine to be shared as part of the ongoing Russian invasion. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Misbar has debunked many falsely shared photos and videos.
