Who bombed railway station in Ukraine? Impostors falsely drag BBC into propaganda war
India Today
Many shared a video report featuring the BBC logo claiming the Ukraine army was behind the attack on a railway station in Ukraine. The AFWA found that the BBC did not publish any such report.
More than 50 people died and over 100 were injured in a missile attack on a railway station in Ukraine’s Kramatorsk on April 8. Following this, many shared a video report featuring the BBC logo claiming the Ukraine army was behind the attack.
The purported report claimed that the missile’s serial number was similar to those fired by the Ukrainian army and that when this came to light, the Ukrainian media stopped covering the incident.
The video showed footage from the Kramatorsk railway station, where dead bodies could be seen on the ground. It included shots of the missile that was found at the site. Other footage, including that of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, followed.
One person shared the video on Twitter claiming, “Unbelievable! BBC de facto acknowledged that the missile strike at Kramatorsk railway station killing 55 civilians was committed by Ukraine!”
This video went viral amid a propaganda war between the West and Russia that began with the latter’s invasion of Ukraine.
