- New video footage shows shocking scenes
- Picture shows Russian sniper from drone is eliminated
- Net users doubt the authenticity of the video
On February 24, 2022, Russian troops marched into Ukraine and started a war. Death and destruction followed. The war started by Putin has been going on for over two years and there is no end in sight. How bad things must really be in the war zones can only be imagined. Videos published daily on the Internet only provide a small insight into the actual war. In addition, the video material often cannot be independently verified. It therefore often remains unclear whether the scenes depicted correspond to the truth.

Shocking footage from the Ukraine war: Russian sniper killed by drone
A similar video from the Ukraine war is currently causing controversy. The footage is said to show a suspected American attack on a Russian sniper. The shocking footage was published by the X-platform “Clash Report”. The video, which is only 26 seconds long, first shows a Russian sniper wearing camouflage clothing lying in a field. Shortly afterwards, the camera zooms out. What follows is a drone that appears to be falling directly onto the man in the grass. When the drone finally hits the ground, there is a huge explosion. The sniper, who had previously been lying in wait, appears to be dead.
“A camouflaged Russian sniper was eliminated by ammunition dropped by a Ukrainian drone, blowing his legs to pieces and completely neutralizing him,” Clash Report explains of the footage. The article does not say when and where the video was recorded.

Internet users think video is fake – Did Ukraine fake the Russian's death?
The shocking video footage is already being hotly debated online. While some users are calling for peace, other observers believe that the sniper was already dead when the attack took place.
- “Crazy, we should stop fighting and make peace…”, wishes this user.
- “He was already dead. He didn't move his legs after the first or second drone strike. Also, he was in an open field in a somewhat inappropriate camouflage suit and there is a long trail as if a corpse had been dragged behind him. Although it is macabre, I believe this was a dummy with a dead (captured?) body,” another observer considers the video to be fake.
- “Great! Another Russian terrorist eliminated,” this net user rejoiced over the supposed Ukraine success.
Editor’s note: The war in Ukraine is not only being fought on the battlefield, but also on social media to keep the morale of the troops high or to discredit the enemy. Both Ukraine and Russia Fight with propaganda means. It is therefore often not possible to say with certainty whether the information that is disseminated is always true.
