of Verification

I went and found

other videos that we

had earlier verified of

Donetsk airport.

Did they compare?

Was the weather

the same?

The buildings?

Date

Donetsk airport is easy

enough to find on

Google maps.

We compared parts of

the video to satellite

imagery.

Look for shapes!

Location

I looked up the

person who posted it

on his FB page first.

On many of his social

platforms, he lists

АРМИЯ SOS as a

place to which he

contributes.

Its site had his photo.
