Accusations that the OSCE provided Ukrainian Armed Forces with coordinates of military targets obtained through its video cameras are unfounded. StopFake found obvious inconsistencies in Russian media stories on the subject.

In addition, the OSCE cameras in question were incapable of recording video at long distances; for this purpose UAVs would have been used.
