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"
