"Crisis Actors", Fake Body Bags: False Claims About Ukraine War Go Viral

Since the time Ukraine war began, internet has been flooded with a lot of misinformation, with users saying everything is a hoax.

Any war-like situation leads to flow of false or misleading information, especially on social media. The same is happening in Ukraine, where Russian forces launched an invasion nearly two weeks ago.

Some of these "bizarre" theories claim that the Ukraine war is a hoax, and exaggerated by the West.

Despite the images showing thousands of people leaving Ukraine, some of the internet users have refused to believe that the crisis is real.

They present outlandish claims that actors are being used to act out scenes from an attack to prove that the war is a hoax. One such claim is in the form of a video circulating on Facebook and other platforms, which shows a young man and a young woman having fake blood applied to his face. Many people are calling them “crisis actors”.
