Sorry, but showing pictures of guns, clothes and a motorcycle is not evidence. I don’t care what the news is about or where it’s from. True or not, this kind of thing needs independent reporting and third-party verification. Period.
When you see stories like this from any source, question everything. Showing pictures that confirm an existing bias is a powerful tool of manipulation, so please remember that.
Early in the Ukraine war, Russia was pushing the Nazi misinformation extremely hard. By the time fake news stories were debunked, it was too late. Russians were fully convinced that Ukraine was about to invade and old news getting debunked didn’t matter.
Copying what I replied to another comment - I’d rather wait for an official report from the UN or an investigative story from an unbiased news outlet like Reuters (to decide whether this is authentic or propaganda).
You posted this to a World News community, but would have rather waited for it to be verified? Why post it in the first place if you’re unsure of the credibility?

Of course, 100%.
