Claim: CNN telecasted footage of firefighters in Canada as Ukrainian war visuals.
Fact-check: No, CNN did not report visuals from Canada as from the war-hit Ukarainian city of Lviv - FACTLY
Verdict: protective gears worn by the ukrainian fighters as shown in the viral screenshot, were actually donated by 'firefighter aid ukraine', an edmonton based nonprofit organisation. the director of the organisation confirmed the same. also through couple of facebook posts, the ngo categorically stated that the protective gears were donated by them. hence the claim made in the post is false.
Organisation: FACTLY
