The claim

Certain scenes and images from the war in Ukraine are fake. The video shows that filming took place again to overdramatize the war. The video on Facebook is intended to be shared by international media as a real war event.

Our conclusion

The video has nothing to do with intentional staging of the Ukraine war. Actor Petr Sherekin posed in front of the camera in Ukrainian soldier's clothing for a music video by singer Anna Khanina.

A video is supposed to show how the Ukraine war is staged. A video from Ukraine is currently being shared on Facebook and TikTok in which a man in a Ukrainian military uniform is crying and screaming in front of the camera. He is apparently filming in a forest, as a cameraman can also be seen in the image of the video. The post states that international media are spreading these alleged stagings of the Ukraine war. Can this be?
