Like most wars, the current appalling violence in the Ukraine is proving that propaganda is as useful a weapon as is any rocket or machine gun.

There’s been widespread reports that Russian TV is reporting that its soldiers have invaded its neighbour to save if from apparent Nazism.

Now a clip has gone viral that purports to show cadavers in body bags still moving that infers the Ukraine has been fabricating its casualty numbers, with some conspiracy theorists claiming it’s proof of “crisis actors” playing roles.

But the video is actually from a climate change protest that has now been edited to appear as though it was recorded in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion.

The video, circulating on social media, has forced CNN reporter, Daniel Dale, to create a thread debunking the clip.

Dale then went on to state the facts, “1) Feb. 4 Austrian news report on a climate protest 2) Feb. 24 NBC report from Ukraine3) The fake — which A) took the Austrian video of the climate protest B) replaced the audio with NBC audio from Ukraine, C) replaced the screen text on the protest with NBC text on Ukraine.”

Dale added: “The video of people in body bags moving around is being used by pro-Russia trolls and others to claim that Ukraine deaths/Ukraine news reports are being faked, when, in fact, the footage is not actually about Ukraine.”

The reporter added, “This hoax is *not* “ha ha, people are trying to convince us that living people are supposedly dead.” It’s ‘wow, the media reported people died in Ukraine, but they actually showed actors lying in body bags – Ukraine casualty reporting is lying to you.'”
