A video that appears to show a body suddenly moving under a plastic body bag has gone viral on social media amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with claims that it shows a Ukrainian crisis actor.
“Miracle! “Miracle! One tweetSharing the video. “This PR disaster is rapidly falling apart.”
The clip shows a reporter talking to the camera while dozens of people lie behind him under tarps. One person falls to the ground and then another runs over to cover him.
But the video is not from Ukraine and it does not reflect a news segment covering mass deaths — it’s from a protest held in Austria in early February.

The people under the tarps aren’t crisis actors — from Germany, Ukraine or anywhere else — trying to fool people into thinking that they are dead. They’re protesters from Austria in a video taken before the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
We rate this False.
