Ukraine invasion: False claims the war is a hoax go viral | BBC News

Nearly two weeks after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the flow of false or misleading information about the war hasn't let up and now there are some outlandish theories being shared online.
Some have begun to circulate claims the war is a hoax, a media fabrication, or has been exaggerated by the West in terms of its scale.
We've examined some of them.

They're even reusing some of the same lies from the Covid crisis.

Snopes: No, This Ironic Greta Thunberg Sticker on a Flooded Car Isn’t Real

The floods themselves and massive damage caused around the world by them, as well as wildfires and other ongoing hazards, are very, very real. And Greta Thunberg is absolutely correct to be mad as hell at older generations, my own included, for not doing enough about them.

(Where fault lies and more pointed blame are further questions.)
