Fake Ukrainian military uses ambulances to transport armed soldiers.
The Russian media and the Russian Foreign Ministry are spreading information that the Ukrainian army is using ambulances to transport armed soldiers. Along with the thesis that the Ukrainian military is allegedly hiding in ambulances, they spread a fragment of the Al Jazeera story, which "accidentally filmed armed men in camouflage getting out of the ambulance" allegedly in Nikolaev. According to StopFake, Russian media only show a short excerpt from the nearly three-minute Al Jazeera report in order to conceal the full context. In fact, the story was filmed not in Nikolaev, but in Kiev during the evacuation of civilians from Irpen in late March. The Ukrainian military accompanied the evacuees and ensured their safety en route. In his inclusion, Al Jazeera reporter Mahmoud Zaibak says that the Ukrainian army helped with the evacuation. In addition, on March 27, The Washington Post published an article and video report on the evacuation from Irpen. Judging by the visual elements of the report, it was filmed in the same place as the Al Jazeera story.
