For several days now, Russia has been concentrating on the east of the country in the Ukraine conflict. Night footage of heavy fighting is said to show during this Donbass offensive . But by spreading the video, users just want to get attention, because the video was made before Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The video
In the video, heavy gunfire can be seen at night and men can probably be heard speaking Russian. It is shared on various social networks such as Facebook and Instagram :
The video is already from at least January 2022
The actual origin of the video is almost impossible to find out, because due to the night shot and many similar videos, even a backward search of individual frames of the video leads to a lot of results that would take a lot of time to check.
But we don't even have to look for the actual origin, because it is enough to show that it arose before the current Donbass offensive and even before the start of the Ukraine conflict. A longer version of this exact video was uploaded to the VK platform on January 11, 2022 (see HERE ).

Conclusion
The exact origin of the video cannot be verified. However, since it was demonstrably posted online in January 2022, it cannot be a current recording of the Donbass offensive.

Since several federal states have banned the “Z” symbol as a propaganda symbol, some people suspect that Zorro films will now be banned.
But that's not the case! No, Zorro films cannot be banned!
