Debunking the videos Russia used as a pretext to send troops to eastern Ukraine

CNN  

CNN — In the course of a day, when Russia carefully choreographed its justification for sending troops into eastern Ukraine, two strange videos popped up on social media. Russia’s Federal Security Service said that two infantry vehicles were discovered “violating the Ukraine-Russian border in the Rostov region.” Separately, Russia’s southern military district said, according to state news agency RIA-Novosti, that five people from a sabotage team were “eliminated.” These alleged incidents were soon fodder for a rarely televised session of Russia’s National Security Council, where President Vladimir Putin invited reports from his inner circle. The Director of the Federal Security Service, Alexander Bortnikov, spoke of “instances of shells hitting the territory of the Russian Federation, primarily in the Rostov region” and said that “two Ukrainian military sabotage groups reached the border with the Russian Federation in Luhansk region, coming from Mariupol.” Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during a Security Council meeting in the Kremlin on Monday. The first video, which allegedly showed a border post inside Russian territory that had been shelled by Ukrainian forces, first appeared on pro-Russian Telegram channels and on RIA-Novosti on Monday morning. Thanks to @john_marquee who points out this is likely around 47.2739, 38.3309, just inside Ukraine https://t.co/ySWiN4KEYL pic.twitter.com/mLbgffEgcS — Eliot Higgins February 21, 2022 The second video first surfaced on a pro-Russian Telegram channel which claims to show helmet footage from a Ukrainian soldier crossing the Russian border.
