A video widely shared online and claiming to show a missile being fired toward a residential area in Kyiv by a Russian low-flying jet is highly likely a Ukrainian MiG-29, according to acclaimed military analysts Rob Lee and Michael Kofman.

A video claiming to show a Russian tank in Kiev running over a civilian vehicle turned out to be a Ukrainian Strela-10 air defense system, according to acclaimed military analyst Rob Lee.
Notice also the lack of a "Z" marking which Russian forces have painted on the side of vehicles to distinguish between Russians and Ukrainians who use similar-looking Soviet-era equipment.

Here's a video of a rocket barrage that's being shared on social media with the implication that it's footage of the Ukraine war. In fact it's from military drills that took place in 2018, according to BBC.

❗️Video reportedly showing the destruction of a dam in the North Crimean canal by Russian forces to resume the supply of water from the Dniepr river.
The dam was constructed in 2014 after the secession of Crimea, leading to water shortages and crop failures on the peninsula.

Footage shared by the official account of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry of an aerial dogfight is accompanied by the caption "MiG-29 of the Air Force of the Armed Forces destroys the 'unparalleled' Su-35 of the Russian occupiers".
As it turns out, it's taken from the video game Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) World. Some twitter users quickly pointed this out, and the story was picked up by the BBC.

There's currently a story circulating on Twitter and western media of the Russian army deploying "mobile crematoriums" in Ukraine to "incinerate" dead Russian soldiers. The purpose, according to these stories, is to "hide the number of casualties."
The Telegraph uploaded a video, citing British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and showcasing one of these vehicles designated "Incinerator IN-50.1K". A quick Google search yields a business ad for a company named Turmalin in St. Petersburg, as well as a youtube video identical to the one uploaded by The Telegraph, except without the added text and dated 23 August 2013.
The company ad contains the following description:
"Because any mobile platforms are always limited in size and carrying capacity, it is difficult to place full-sized incinerators with a deployed gas cleaning system on them, therefore, we are mainly talking about specialized models for biological (animal) and vegetable waste."
