Claim: The viral video shows Russia's latest strike on Ukraine, destroying seven airbases and signalling a dire warning to the West.
Fact: The video dates back to July 2024 and shows a Russian missile hitting a Kyiv children's hospital, not multiple airbases.
The viral video claimed to show Russia's attacks on Ukraine is a video of a massive fire at Al Hamriya Port in Sharjah. The viral claim is misleading.
The video doesn't show Moscow explosions in June 2025, it's a compilation of old footage from Crimea during past Russia-Ukraine conflicts.
Trump never made the above statement, nor did he call on Ukraine to compensate Russia for destroyed aircraft. We found no evidence in his publicized statements, in the news media or on his social media accounts to corroborate the claim. As such, it is an incorrect attribution.
Claim: The video shows the aftermath of Russia's attack on Ukraine.
Fact: The claim is false. The video shows a fire breaking out at a fuel storage facility in Sharjah's Al Hamriyah Port on May 31.
The footage actually showed a Ukrainian strike on the Crimean port of Feodosia in December 2023 - not Ukrainian strikes on Russia in June 2025.
The line between games and reality is more blurred than ever.

The image was shared with a false claim on social media.
Did U.S. President Donald Trump complain on social media that Ukraine's attacks on Russia interfere with his sleep? No, that's...
