Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has fueled a surge of false and misleading content on TikTok. Countless videos are exploiting the platform’s defining features around audio creation in order to spread fake wartime footage purportedly filmed in Ukraine.

It was not clear where the video came from, but the stream got over 66,000 views.How to avoid being duped
