Description:

A video circulating online purports to show Ukrainians in a packed pub celebrating the country’s recent attack on the Kerch bridge linking Russia to annexed Crimea. But the footage is being misrepresented; it shows Wigan Athletic football fans chanting: “Will Grigg’s on fire!” in 2016 about the English club’s then-striker.
