Is it true that in Gostol Ukrainians shot a staged video about the "atrocities of the Russian troops"?

In mid -August, 2022, a video was dispersed on the network about how in Ukraine they allegedly shot the production of the "atrocities of the Russian troops in relation to the civilian population." Vladimir Solovyov also told about this. We checked the reliability of such statements.

The video of interest to us lasts only 15 seconds. At the beginning of the record, you can hear how a man behind the scenes in Russian pronounces the command “Start!”, After which a group of people in everyday clothes begins to run and scream. At the end of the video, the “Stop!” Team sounds. There are also people with professional filming equipment. All this happens against the backdrop of burning and conquered cars, as well as a destroyed five -story building. In addition, in the lower part of the video there is a imposed inscription in Ukrainian: “What time, such a movie and shoot! GOSTOL, 2022, endless February. "

On the basis of the cadres given, some Internet users concluded: this is evidence that Ukraine will stage the war crimes of the Russian army against civilian. For example, on August 12, TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov reputed The post with this video and the next signature: “In GOST, the“ directors ”of the Kyiv regime shoot a staged video about supposedly the atrocities of the Russian troops in relation to the civilian population.” And TV presenter Sergei Karnaukhov shared the post of his colleague and Added: “Important shots for the future tribunal. The problem of these shootings is that for the extras they shoot peaceful and are taken to the "film site". For credibility, our military execute the cameras. This is all the reality of modern Ukraine. ”

Commented The video is also in the official Twitter account of the Russian Embassy in the UK: “So Kiev propaganda supported by Western media is created. Just watch this video. #Stopnaziukraine ("Stop the Nazi Ukraine." - Approx. Ed.). " Similar post was (already deleted) and on Twitter of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Spain: “If the atrocities of the Russian military do not exist, then they must be invented. Supply personnel with civilians, escaping from the Russian "aggression" in GOSTOL. Such posts dispersed through various Telegram channels (here, here And here), public in VKontakte (here, here And here) and personal pages on Facebook (here, here, here And here).

The video was really shot in GOSTOL - the urban -type village in the Buchansky district of the Kyiv region - what can be understood by the building with a huge hole in the background. For example, a photo of this five -story building indicating GOSTEL is available in the agency photo base The Associated Press (AP) and on the Twitter account of the photographer European Pressphoto Agency Roman Pilipius, and this house was also shown in the report of the GOSTELA TV channel "1 + 1".
