  • Images show a young Ukrainian girl telling a Russian soldier to go home. False. The images come from a video that was published in 2012. It says it shows Palestinian children. A post falsely claiming to show a young Ukrainian girl confronting a Russian soldier has been shared on Facebook. The post includes two screenshots of a video where a girl can be seen talking to a soldier, alongside the caption: Young Ukraine [sic] girl confronts a Russian Soldier and tells him to go back to Russia. But these images are not from Ukraine. They are taken from a video published more than nine years ago on YouTube, which says it shows a Palestinian girl. We’ve seen a large number of posts falsely claiming to show events in Ukraine, following the Russian invasion on 24 February. For more information on how to check misleading videos yourself, find our updated guide here. This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as false because the pictures are not from Ukraine. (en)
