Until a month ago I would have thought that Putin, for all his bluster, was still intelligent enough not to get into a shooting war with the rest of the world. Now I think he's intent on doing just that.Brad
All of them
The BBC says that a video carrying its branding which claims that last week’s missile attack on a railway station was carried out by Ukraine is a fake.The clip gives the false impression that the BBC has confirmed the missile which killed dozens of people at Kramatorsk was fired by the Ukrainian armed forces.No such video has been produced by the BBC, and our investigation into the attack is ongoing. It has not yet been possible to verify the source of the missile.The clip appears to have originated among pro-Kremlin accounts on social media app Telegram, but has spread across Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.It has also been aired on Russian State TV.The stilted use of language, a non-BBC spelling of “Zelensky”, and use of footage of dead bodies all point to the video being a fake. BBC editorial guidelines restrict the use of such images without strong justification, and are always preceded by a warning.The press office said: “The BBC is taking action to have the video removed. We urge people not to share it and to check stories on the BBC News website.”
