Czech Radio combatting pro-Russian disinformation videos
Czech Radio has pointed to numerous inconsistencies, in time and place, of a pro-Russian video that has gone viral on social networks claiming that the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles that the Czech Republic sent to Ukraine were allegedly destroyed by the Russians. Czech Radio has analyzed the footage in detail, showing that even the buildings portrayed in the background are not those of the Lozovo train station as claimed. The disinformation video was shared 900 times and seen by 10,000 people in a matter of days. The Czech Defense Ministry also issued a statement rejecting claims that the military support it sent had been destroyed. A similar fake video claimed that the S-300 defense system which Slovakia sent to Ukraine had also been destroyed by the Russians. Slovakia categorically denied this, as did Ukraine.
