False Claims of Mass Ukraine Protests Circulate Online
Social media users are sharing claims of mass protests in Ukraine, featuring both Ukrainian and Russian flags, set for October 19, 2025. The posts aim to attract attention and engagement. Investigations reveal that the attached photo is not from a recent protest in Ukraine, but from a 'Peace March' held in Moscow on September 21, 2014. This march was organized by the 'Ukrainian Pacifist Movement' to protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine at that time. Further checks found no online evidence of mass anti-war protests in Ukraine in October 2025. The material linked in the comments of the post does not support the claim of new protests either. The claims of mass protests in Ukraine with both Ukrainian and Russian flags on October 19, 2025, appear to be false. The posts use an old photo and lack evidence to support their claims. Users are advised to verify information before sharing.
