A video on Facebook with over 24,000 views has the caption “Russia attack multiple cities in Ukraine and declare War [sic]”.
But this video doesn’t show Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began 24 February 2022.
The clip, which seems to show a lightning strike, appeared on TikTok at least as early as 29 January 2022.
The TikTok caption says (in Russian and translated by Google): “lightning strike at the power plant”. We were not able to verify what exactly the video shows, but it was definitely posted online before the recent invasion.
We’ve written about this particular video before. It also appeared on Twitter on 24 February with false claims it showed “explosions now” in Mariupol in Ukraine.
