| Description: | Footage of armored vehicles set alight by Molotov cocktails on a Ukrainian street is being presented on social media as local resistance against Russia’s ongoing invasion. This is false; the recording is from Ukraine, but it was shot in 2014 in Kyiv during the country’s popular protest movement, when demonstrators torched the army’s vehicles. |
