Emerging story
Social media users recently shared a video shot with thermal cameras that purported to show footage from a Russian military special operation in Ukraine.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulated claim and found it misleading. The video is old and was posted on Russian websites in February 2020 as part of a Russian special forces operation against "terrorists".
The claim emerged amid continuing clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces since the start of Russia's military operation on Feb. 24. However, the two sides are unable to reach an agreement to halt the operation.
