Fact Check: Does Video Show 'Mass Surrender' of Ukrainian Troops?

By Tom Norton On 7/28/23 at 12:38 PM EDT

 

Multiple tweets posted on July 25, 2023, were described as showing the mass surrender of Ukrainian troops. The video shows a column of military vehicles with a line of what appear to be soldiers marching in a single file alongside.

 

The film shared on Twitter, claiming to show Ukrainian prisoners captured in a moment of mass surrender, is an example of deceptive framing.

 

The footage was taken more than a month ago when the paramilitary Wagner Group, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, exchanged prisoners of war with Ukraine.

 

A Telegram post that included a video of Prigozhin speaking to exchanged soldiers, was posted on May 26, 2023, on an official Wagner Telegram channel. The post includes Russian text (translated via Deepl) states "Exchange of prisoners 25.05.23 Statement by E. V. Prigozhin."

 

Aerial footage of the exchange can be seen at around 4:40 in the clip.

 

The same footage was published by a number of media outlets including The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal.

 

According to contemporary Ukrainian reports, the Head of the Ukrainian President's Office Andriy Yermak said that it was returning 106 soldiers from Russian captivity.
