In this article, I will attempt to show how the "Ukraine war" is faked by both the pro-Ukrainian side and pro-separatist/Russian sides together.
Of course, with the limited time and resource I have, I will not be able to analyze every event; but it is not necessary to prove the faking of every event to make the point. Just one is more than enough - since if the war is real, then there should be no need to fake anything!
One thing I would like to highlight is that, the Russian government will often release some kind of "debunking" report or video following an event, which then easily gets decimated by the Western media. It seems to me, the true intentions of Kremlin is not to refute the claims, but is in fact helping to enforce it - by setting up a straw man argument for the opposition to destroy. At the same time, it prevents true research from reaching the public by clogging up the search engines. Therefore, once again, let me reiterate that BOTH the Ukrainian and Russian forces are implicated in the fakery of the Ukraine war.
A note of warning: there are photos and videos below depicting (allegedly) dead bodies, if you are not comfortable with such content, please turn back

1. Maidan Square shooting
To start from the very beginning of the Ukraine/Russia conflict, we need to turn back the clock to 2014, and re-examine the Maidan Square protest and the subsequent shooting.
- Caption of the photo reads: "A protester gestures using the arms of a broken mannequin during clashes in Kiev. Sergei Grits/AP" - why would there be mannequin hands in the first place? And If we acknowledge there are mannequins, how do we know these mannequins are not used to fake corpses?
- Take a close look at the soldier in the middle, does it look like he has a head? Or are we looking at the background behind where his head is supposed to be?
- The following video is said to be taken in the Maidan Square during the conflict

We have the case of missing heads again:
It seems to me the heads or faces of the people are supposed to be keyed in by post-processing, notice the slight color difference between the head and the neck in this one
- A medic, named Olesya Zhukovska, who got shot in the neck "miraculously" recovered. Quote:
"I am dying": Wounded medic's tweet from Kiev goes viral
Though not proven conclusively, I believe it is very likely that the Maidan Square shooting is a fake event, given the existence of mannequins and headless bodies

2. the downing of MH-17
Following the 2014 coup d’état, in July 2014, it was reported that the Malysia Airline flight MH-17 was shot down by missiles, which further escalated the tensions between Ukraine and Russia. But what do we know about the MH-17 case?
- on Mar 8 2014, MH370, a Boeing 777-200ER, was said to have disappeared; MH17 also just so happens to also be a Boeing 777-200ER
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 - Wikipedia
- on July 17 1996, TWA800 crashed, the reason for the crash was due to a missile accident. The cover-up forTWA800 event is well-documented,

Exactly 777 days after July 17 1996, i.e. September 2, 1998, SWISSAIR flight 111 crashed. In the Wikipedia article, the only victim that was given by name, was said to be the former head of the WHO AIDS program. And exactly 20 years later, i.e July 17 2014, the MH-17 crashed. In the MH-17 Wikipedia article, we are given by name the former president of the International AIDS Society. Coincidence?

- It was acknowledged that MH17 was off-course: the flight was 300 miles north of the path it had used on previous days for the same route. Some reports claimed the flight was diverted to avoid thunderstorms; yet Malaysia Airlines said it had no reports from the pilot to suggest that this was the case. So, why would the flight be off-course?

- In the video depicting the crash sight, we are shown a fully naked "body" - how could this be? If the clothes are burned away then the body should be completely charred, and yet there are parts of the body that are completely undamaged. We are also shown passports belonging to the victims. The passports are not only undamaged but are in fact clean and whole. Again, how could this be?
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuVpJ3FF2q0
- Like above, the passenger items are shown to be in pristine condition
There can only one conclusion: MH17 did not exist, and no one shot her down.
*
Now, let us come back to the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian war.
3. Fakes news acknowledged at the start of the war
- A wealth of fake news surfaced at the very begining of the war, which were video game footage, or videos of past events, or photoshopped images. This was acknowledged by the mass media such as BBC. What is important to note is that, the official Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, as well as mainstream media sources like "The Times" and "New York Post" etc. were all implicated.

‘Ghost of Kyiv’ revealed to be a hoax, joins list of false narratives by both sides

- One of the most popular fake news was that, Ukrainian soldiers in Snake Island has taken their last stand. The news has quickly reversed, and the soldiers were revaled to be alive. 'Snake Island' Story of Russian Warship Killing 'Defiant' Ukrainian Soldiers Was Fake News - American Faith
I believe the purpose of these early fake news, and the public acknowledgement of it, was to cause the public to give up on finding what is true and what is not in the Ukraine war. It also provides cover for fake news in the future, in case they were exposed, to be 'just another mistake'. Furthermore, the public might be more willing to believe future news to be 'real', as the media was seemingly willing to admit to their mistakes.
*
4. Kyiv residential area attacks
One of the first publicized event of the Ukraine war was the Kyiv missile attacks.
- What one might have missed unless following the news closely was that, no one died in the most publicised missile strike, in fact it was not even claimed if anyone was hurt. Consider how probably it is that a residential stike killed no one - no one in the building, and no one on the streets by the debris - unless it was pre-planned and eveyone evacuated the area in advace.
No deaths from strike on residential building in Kyiv - Ukrainian government adviser
- In another residential missile strike that was publicised, an interview with one of the residents had the resident saying: "We are all expecting that, but it was in the middle of the night, so I wasn't sure if it will happen (translated)" (at 1:05-1:15). So they expected a missile strike? And he was only surprised because it happened in the middle of the night, and not of the missile strike itself? That is an extremely odd thing to say - unless he was foretold of the attack.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Dogb_pfac
While there is not enough information to analyze every single claim of residential attack, based on the two most publicized events above, I think it is natural to assume all similar reports are fabricated in one way or another.
5. Destruction in Kharkiv
On March 1, a video depicting a missile strike in front of the Oblast administrative building located in Freedom Square, central Kharkiv was widely shared. Subsquent reports and videos show massive destruction around Kharkiv
- In the only video showing the missile strike - which happens to be a recording played on a computer screen (why can't the original footage be found?) - right before the explosion went off, there was a split second showing some kind of overexposure that cut off right under the roof of the building. There is no physical explanation of this phenomenon, unless the video is a 3D render with the "roof" in a different layer of the model. Moreover, the video shows that after explosion, the cars drove right by the building as if nothing happened until a few seconds in.
- In the following video that supposedly shows Kharkiv's destruction, there is a very noticable aliasing effect throughout the video, indicative of a 3D rendering. Tellingly, in one scene, a car shows the plate number 4444 BM - an unlikely number.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_MVPfoR8Z0
- In addition to the video above, there are multiple videos that show some kind of aliasing effect, as well as weird lighting or movements, such as the ones below. Of note, the 'drone footage', if examined carefully, is showing just a single location in a limited area at different angles; which happens the be the same area depicted in the previous video

While there may be some limited area that was destroyed for theatrics, it seems most videos are in fact showing 3D rendered simulations instead of real footage
*
6. Mariupol Theater strike
It was claimed that on March 9 2022, Russian forces in Mariupol targeted a maternity hospital in an airstrike. The pregnant women from the hospital were allegedly moved to the Donetsk Regional Drama Theater for safety. Subsequently on March 16 2022, it was claimed that Russian forces bombed the Drama Theatre which collapsed, causing mass civilian casualties.
- In early reports on March 18, Mariupol City Council stated that according to initial information, no one had been killed. It was only afterwards, that 300 were claimed to have dead from "eyewitness statements". As anyone who studies media fakery should know, it is always the earlier reports that are more credible, as they have yet to be influenced by propaganda.
Mariupol theatre airstrike - Wikipedia
Ukraine Opens Humanitarian Corridor for Evacuation Saturday
- From the Associated Press article on the Theater bombing, one of the victims were quoted for saying: "All the people are still under the rubble, because the rubble is still there — no one dug them up". So, no bodies had been recovered and yet AP was able to claim 600 died.
AP evidence points to 600 dead in Mariupol theater airstrike
- Information concerning the destruction of the Theater seems to suggest that the explosion happened inside the building, as most of the damage was done to the lower levels instead of the higher levels. It would be reasonable then to assume the people inside the theater were evacuated prior to the detonation.
Fake: russian Armed Forces Bombed Drama Theater in Mariupol - waronfakes.com
- Russian outlets have correctly identified Marianna Podgourskaya, one of the victims of the hospital attack interviewed by Associated Press, to be an influencer, i.e. a paid actress. While Western media paints her as an innocent blogger, and claimed to have 'debunked' Russia's claim; it remains open whether she is a crisis actor or not. It is certainly suspicious that an influencer/actress was given the spotlight first by the Western media, and then again by the Russian media.
Ukraine blogger video fuels false info on Mariupol bombing
While verifiable information about the Theater event is sparse, it seems likely the attack was 'theater'.
6.1. Siege of Mariupol
- It is very difficult to ascertain the exact degree of destruction of the city, as many photos/videos are framed to highlight the damage - many are taken in the same locations such as the Theater, the shopping center and Azovstal. What can be said is that many apartment buildings are still standing, and the civilians are walking around freely by late April.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGOjXP98zUU
- It would be remiss not to mention the possibility of fakery, including photoshopped images and computer renderings. For example, I have trouble understanding how some apartment buildings could have completely blackened walls yet remain largely intact, such as in the video below. Also note the birds flying across the screen at 0:05-0:09 and 0:12-0:15; the birds remain the same size throughout their path, this could mean two things: either the every bird just happens to fly at 90 degrees to the camera, or the birds are CGI and was keyed into the scene.

- In this footage of the PortCity shopping center, I find it quite odd that the two figures at the beginning of the video are completely motionless.

- Reports of massive graves have been refuted by Russian media, where an orderly cemetery is found at the location
Western Claims of Russian Mass Graves Near Mariupol Another Fake News Hoax--I Know, I Went To See
In short, there is no trusted source to rely on, and the exact number of casualties in Mariupol is simply unknown - which could very well be none.
*
7. Mykolaiv bombing
On March 29 2022, Russian forces allegedly carried out an airstrike on the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration's headquarters causing multiple deaths.
- In the following photo attributed to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (Russia keeps pounding Ukraine, fueling skepticism over Putin's intentions as his war creates 4 million refugees), as astutely noted by RussBrown (https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=XX7S4BWDS3MM), the wires of the crane seems to disappear into thin air - could it be that the photo was photoshopped to remove the wrecking ball attached to the wire?
- In one of the the reports of the event, it was reported at least 33 were killed and 34 injured. Notice the numerology: 33 and 33+34=67 (or 66.6 rounded up)
https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/worl...kolaiv-s-govt-building-rises-to-33/ar-AAVMYjp
It seems not much effort was put into this hoax, as the building is obviously tore down by construction machinery.
*
8. Bucha massacre
Videos of the alledged killing of Ukrainian civilians by Russian Armed Forces in Bucha Ukraine emerged on Apr 1 2022. Russians has claimed the videos to be faked, but was subsequently debunked by Western media. But does this mean the Bucha event is real?
- A video dated April 1 2022 by Bucha's mayor Anatolii Fedoruk (https://www.facebook.com/bucharada.gov.ua/videos/270161321982745/) did not mention any killings. Another video by the Ukrainian National Police alledgedly dated Apr 2 2022 (the earliest version I can find is dated Apr 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MNuMJNIS64) also did not depict any bodies on the streets of Bucha in their cleanup operation.
- Another video from a Bucha official dated at Apr 1 2022 https://www.facebook.com/bucharada.gov.ua/videos/341388734689277 said there were bodies on the streets that have been lying there 'for a long time'. This is in contrast to the photos/videos of 'bodies' that shows no signs of decomposition
- Comparing photos published/released by different news sources, it is clear that the "bodies" and objects have been moved around.
- A New York Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/world/europe/bucha-ukraine-bodies.html ) claimed "satellite photos" from MAXAR, a NASA contractor, shows bodies lying on the street since March 11 2022. It had been noted by sceptics that open access to the MAXAR photos were limited to files less than 50MB, while the resolution of photos used by NYT indicated they were likely over 100 MB. Moreover, based on the direction of the shadows, some claimed the real date of the photos is April 1 instead of mid-March. Indeed, as noted already, the claim of bodies lying around for weeks is incompatable with the degree of decomposition shown in the photos.
https://english.pravda.ru/world/151028-maxar_bucha/
https://waronfakes.com/bucha/?p=131
Judging from the multiple versions of body placement and the implausibility of the story, it seems highly likely that the bodies were staged and fake.
*
9. Kramatorsk train station attack
On 8 April 2022, it was claimed that a Russian missile strike hit the railway station of the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk causing thousands of civilian deaths
- In the following video from Reuters, at 1:06, while there are people hurt or dead on the ground, the bags and trolleys around are completely undamaged.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6M4z5BwxTE
- in an interview with the survivors of the attack, the 'victims' were smiling or grinning, which was completely at odds with 'the nightmare' they were describing. It was as if they were simply elated to be in the spotlight. One can also see the cars in the video look like scrap cars.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foiqjqP4GR4
Like many of the events analyzed already, this is most likely another fake event involving crisis actors.
*
10. Sinking of Moskva
The flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, Moskva, was alledgedly sinked by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles on April 14 2022.
- Before the currently accepted video depicting the sinking of Moskva surfaced, there were other footage of the sinking that got popularized on social media which was ultimately debunked to be fake
https://www.khou.com/article/news/v...skva/536-3bd27676-110f-4db7-b5b6-86f4b1a61f33
- the officially accepted photos and video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Moskva (the last photo below) shows a different ship(the middle photo) than what has been known as Moskva(first photo): the sinking ship is missing the number 121 on the side, and it has a different bridge tower and hanger deck compartment compared to Moskva.
- While Kremlin refused to verify the footage, they had not disputed the claim that the footage shows Moskva - when it clearly is not
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/18/europe/ukraine-moskva-warship-sinking-images-intl/index.html
Despite what the Ukrainian and Russian forces claimed, there is no evidence that the Moskva sanked. The accepted footage is not one of Moskva.
*
11. Attacks on Mariupol and Donetsk, and Russian propaganda
For the following section, I will focus on the events reported by the US-born Russian propagandist Patrick Lancaster. There are other propagandists reporting on the same events, but it should suffice examining just one of them.
- Lancaster had been exposed previously for showing fake corpses in one of his videos
https://glasnostgone.org/2022/02/22/in-ukraine-russia-uses-corpses-in-false-flag-attack/
- In the video alledgely showing the attack in Ilicha, Mariupol, there are many peculiarities:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUask2cfFh4
- In the Video allegedly showing the bombing in center Donetsk, one can similarly find various oddities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANNhDKGjNK (removed from YouTube, please refer to the screenshots below)
It should be obvious that these attacks were faked with the blatant use of fake bodies and crisis actors
*
12. Kremenchuk shopping center bombing
On 27 June 2022, it was reported that the Russian army bombed a shopping center in Krememchuk, while Russia claims it has bombed its intended target - a factory-converted military warehouse
- In a video published by Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, claiming to be filmed at the Kremenchuk shopping center, bottles of wine are seen to be standing on the shelves undamaged
video can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarRoom/comments/vm7w71/the_video_from_inside_the_burnedout_amstor/
- in the video claiming to be CCTV footage of the park next to the mall, various oddities can be noted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC2l5HhWl1g
- the video of the fire itself is also quite unnatural:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...n_shelling,_2022-06-27_(1).webm.720p.vp9.webm
It is obvious that all the footage is done by 3D rendering. There is no fire; there is no missile.
*
I have examined around 12 events above, and pointed out how every one of them is fake or likely fabricated. I do not expect to convince you on every instance, but I hope you agree with at least some of them; as this shows a pattern of deceit: not only by the Ukrainian side, or Russian side, but indeed by both sides - the game is to blame each other for an event that did not even happen.
I would like to close with a quote:
"Why does a dog wag its tail?
- Because a dog is smarter than its tail"
Don't let the tail be smarter than the dog.
the act of creating a diversion from a damaging issue usually through military force

It would be reasonable then to assume the people inside the theater were evacuated prior to the detonation.

- Russian outlets have correctly identified Marianna Podgourskaya, one of the victims of the hospital attack interviewed by Associated Press, to be an influencer, i.e. a paid actress. While Western media paints her as an innocent blogger, and claimed to have 'debunked' Russia's claim; it remains open whether she is a crisis actor or not. It is certainly suspicious that an influencer/actress was given the spotlight first by the Western media, and then again by the Russian media.
Ukraine blogger video fuels false info on Mariupol bombing
While verifiable information about the Theater event is sparse, it seems likely the attack was 'theater'.
6.1. Siege of Mariupol
- It is very difficult to ascertain the exact degree of destruction of the city, as many photos/videos are framed to highlight the damage - many are taken in the same locations such as the Theater, the shopping center and Azovstal. What can be said is that many apartment buildings are still standing, and the civilians are walking around freely by late April.

- It would be remiss not to mention the possibility of fakery, including photoshopped images and computer renderings. For example, I have trouble understanding how some apartment buildings could have completely blackened walls yet remain largely intact, such as in the video below. Also note the birds flying across the screen at 0:05-0:09 and 0:12-0:15; the birds remain the same size throughout their path, this could mean two things: either the every bird just happens to fly at 90 degrees to the camera, or the birds are CGI and was keyed into the scene.

- In this footage of the PortCity shopping center, I find it quite odd that the two figures at the beginning of the video are completely motionless.

- Reports of massive graves have been refuted by Russian media, where an orderly cemetery is found at the location

In short, there is no trusted source to rely on, and the exact number of casualties in Mariupol is simply unknown - which could very well be none.

7. Mykolaiv bombing
On March 29 2022, Russian forces allegedly carried out an airstrike on the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration's headquarters causing multiple deaths.
- In the following photo attributed to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (Russia keeps pounding Ukraine, fueling skepticism over Putin's intentions as his war creates 4 million refugees), as astutely noted by RussBrown (https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=XX7S4BWDS3MM), the wires of the crane seems to disappear into thin air - could it be that the photo was photoshopped to remove the wrecking ball attached to the wire?
- In one of the the reports of the event, it was reported at least 33 were killed and 34 injured. Notice the numerology: 33 and 33+34=67 (or 66.6 rounded up)
https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/worl...kolaiv-s-govt-building-rises-to-33/ar-AAVMYjp
It seems not much effort was put into this hoax, as the building is obviously tore down by construction machinery.

8. Bucha massacre
Videos of the alledged killing of Ukrainian civilians by Russian Armed Forces in Bucha Ukraine emerged on Apr 1 2022. Russians has claimed the videos to be faked, but was subsequently debunked by Western media. But does this mean the Bucha event is real?
- A video dated April 1 2022 by Bucha's mayor Anatolii Fedoruk (https://www.facebook.com/bucharada.gov.ua/videos/270161321982745/) did not mention any killings. Another video by the Ukrainian National Police alledgedly dated Apr 2 2022 (the earliest version I can find is dated Apr 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MNuMJNIS64) also did not depict any bodies on the streets of Bucha in their cleanup operation.
- Another video from a Bucha official dated at Apr 1 2022 https://www.facebook.com/bucharada.gov.ua/videos/341388734689277 said there were bodies on the streets that have been lying there 'for a long time'. This is in contrast to the photos/videos of 'bodies' that shows no signs of decomposition
- Comparing photos published/released by different news sources, it is clear that the "bodies" and objects have been moved around.
- A New York Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/world/europe/bucha-ukraine-bodies.html ) claimed "satellite photos" from MAXAR, a NASA contractor, shows bodies lying on the street since March 11 2022. It had been noted by sceptics that open access to the MAXAR photos were limited to files less than 50MB, while the resolution of photos used by NYT indicated they were likely over 100 MB. Moreover, based on the direction of the shadows, some claimed the real date of the photos is April 1 instead of mid-March. Indeed, as noted already, the claim of bodies lying around for weeks is incompatable with the degree of decomposition shown in the photos.

Judging from the multiple versions of body placement and the implausibility of the story, it seems highly likely that the bodies were staged and fake.

9. Kramatorsk train station attack
On 8 April 2022, it was claimed that a Russian missile strike hit the railway station of the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk causing thousands of civilian deaths
- In the following video from Reuters, at 1:06, while there are people hurt or dead on the ground, the bags and trolleys around are completely undamaged.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6M4z5BwxTE
- in an interview with the survivors of the attack, the 'victims' were smiling or grinning, which was completely at odds with 'the nightmare' they were describing. It was as if they were simply elated to be in the spotlight. One can also see the cars in the video look like scrap cars.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foiqjqP4GR4
Like many of the events analyzed already, this is most likely another fake event involving crisis actors.

10. Sinking of Moskva
The flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, Moskva, was alledgedly sinked by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles on April 14 2022.
- Before the currently accepted video depicting the sinking of Moskva surfaced, there were other footage of the sinking that got popularized on social media which was ultimately debunked to be fake
https://www.khou.com/article/news/v...skva/536-3bd27676-110f-4db7-b5b6-86f4b1a61f33
- the officially accepted photos and video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Moskva (the last photo below) shows a different ship(the middle photo) than what has been known as Moskva(first photo): the sinking ship is missing the number 121 on the side, and it has a different bridge tower and hanger deck compartment compared to Moskva.
- While Kremlin refused to verify the footage, they had not disputed the claim that the footage shows Moskva - when it clearly is not
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/18/europe/ukraine-moskva-warship-sinking-images-intl/index.html
Despite what the Ukrainian and Russian forces claimed, there is no evidence that the Moskva sanked. The accepted footage is not one of Moskva.

11. Attacks on Mariupol and Donetsk, and Russian propaganda
For the following section, I will focus on the events reported by the US-born Russian propagandist Patrick Lancaster. There are other propagandists reporting on the same events, but it should suffice examining just one of them.
- Lancaster had been exposed previously for showing fake corpses in one of his videos
https://glasnostgone.org/2022/02/22/in-ukraine-russia-uses-corpses-in-false-flag-attack/
- In the video alledgely showing the attack in Ilicha, Mariupol, there are many peculiarities:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUask2cfFh4
- 1:40, no blood around the person lying on street
- 2:39, clearly a skeleton model with clothes, impossible to have face blown away but clothes still intact
- 3:34, car with broken windows, but no glass on the floor or inside the car
- In the Video allegedly showing the bombing in center Donetsk, one can similarly find various oddities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANNhDKGjNK (removed from YouTube, please refer to the screenshots below)
- 3:08, there is a circular mark on the temple of the man on the right and the man seemingly has no face, could this be a test dummy?
- 4:45-5:00, supposedly injured man streches arm high up then scratches his head, then play with his fingers
It should be obvious that these attacks were faked with the blatant use of fake bodies and crisis actors

12. Kremenchuk shopping center bombing
On 27 June 2022, it was reported that the Russian army bombed a shopping center in Krememchuk, while Russia claims it has bombed its intended target - a factory-converted military warehouse
- In a video published by Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, claiming to be filmed at the Kremenchuk shopping center, bottles of wine are seen to be standing on the shelves undamaged
video can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarRoom/comments/vm7w71/the_video_from_inside_the_burnedout_amstor/
- in the video claiming to be CCTV footage of the park next to the mall, various oddities can be noted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC2l5HhWl1g
- at 0:04, the leaves fall off the tree but the tree does not move; the clarity of the debris seems to be much higher than the rest of the video
- at 0:27, the man's foot disappears; at 0:29, the woman remains standing while the man collapse to the ground, also, the couple's size stays the same even though they are going down a slope. At 0:33. when the man jumps into the pond, instead of falling straight down, he remains above water for a split second before disappearing
- at 0:46, the woman walking horizontally across the screen gives no reaction to the shock-wave until few seconds later
- at 1:25, the wave on the water disappears halfway across the pond
- the video of the fire itself is also quite unnatural:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...n_shelling,_2022-06-27_(1).webm.720p.vp9.webm
- at 0:07, the people further away are already blurry yet the symbols on the cars in the background are still clear
- at 0:13, the man walking across the camera looks too bright compared to the rest of the scene
- at 0:42-0:43 a slight aliasing effect can be noticed
It is obvious that all the footage is done by 3D rendering. There is no fire; there is no missile.

I have examined around 12 events above, and pointed out how every one of them is fake or likely fabricated. I do not expect to convince you on every instance, but I hope you agree with at least some of them; as this shows a pattern of deceit: not only by the Ukrainian side, or Russian side, but indeed by both sides - the game is to blame each other for an event that did not even happen.
I would like to close with a quote:
"Why does a dog wag its tail?
- Because a dog is smarter than its tail"
Don't let the tail be smarter than the dog.
