Let's do a bit of reporting on the anti-Russia fakes published by meRdia these days. First: this image was passed off as a Russian attack in Ukraine. False: it is a 2021 attack on Gaza
Second. This video passed off as a Russian airstrike on Ukraine actually shows Russian planes over Moscow during a test flyover before a national holiday in 2020, unrelated to the recent invasion.
Third. This footage shows Ukrainian police dropping riot gear in Odessa, too bad it's from 2014
Fourth. Earlier this week, thousands of social media users falsely claimed that this video showed the war between Russia and Ukraine, but it is a video of the video game "Weapon 3"
Fifth. This leaked video does not show a recent explosion in Ukraine. The clip was published on TikTok in January.
Sixth. This photo actually shows Ukrainians praying, but it has been running since 2019 AT LEAST
Seventh. This photo does not show a Russian plane shot down by Ukraine. It was taken in August 2015 during an air show celebrating Russian National Flag Day.
Eighth. This footage of a plane crash is unrelated to the invasion of Ukraine. The video shows a Libyan fighter jet shot down over Benghazi in 2011.
Ninth. This video does not show an explosion in Ukraine. It shows one of a series of explosions that occurred in China in August 2015
Tenth. This image does not show a Russian plane on fire in Ukraine. It shows a pilot being ejected from a burning plane during a 1993 air show in Fairford, England.
Eleventh. This TikTok video has more than 1.5 million views on Facebook. But it doesn't show Russian soldiers parachuting into Ukraine: the clip was posted on Instagram in 2015.
Fact check: Photo shows airstrike in Gaza Strip, not Russian invasion of Ukraine After Russia invaded eastern Ukraine, social media users falsely claimed a May 2021 photo showed the attack.
