Claim: Before and after pictures of the Independence Square in Kyiv, Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
Fact-check: 2014 photo is shared as Kyiv's Independence Square after the Russian invasion of Ukraine - FACTLY
Verdict: the second photo shared in the post was taken in 2014 when violent clashes erupted between the anti-government forces and ukraine security forces in kyiv. the picture shared in the post is old and has nothing to do with the ongoing russian invasion of ukraine. hence, the post shared in the post is misleading.
