In March 2022, as Russia continued its attack on Ukraine, a video that supposedly showed a Ukrainian tank crashing through a barricade racked up millions of views on TikTok. This video predated the 2022 conflict in Ukraine. It was filmed in 2014. While Russia Today (RT), a television network owned by the Russian state, did air this footage in 2014, it doesn't appear that they re-ran it eight years later as if it showed an incident from Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. While this video is not recent, it was taken during a conflict that mirrors the current battle in Ukraine. It was taken in May 2014 during the Battle of Mariupol, shortly after Russia annexed Crimea. The New York Times reported at the time: Reuters added: Here's a copy of the video from Military.com: https://www.military.com/video/combat-vehicles/weapons-carriers/ukrainian-army-apc-jumps-barrier/3560066174001While this video is real and shows a tank crashing through a barricade, it was not taken during Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
