The Kremlin has created a fake BBC news video to try and blame the Ukrainian military for a Russian missile strike at a train station that killed 50 people.
In a desperate attempt to paint Ukraine as the aggressors, a propaganda video with BBC-style credits has been spread on social media showing images from the attack in Kramatorsk saying the missile serial number was similar to those fired by the Ukrainian army.
There is no voiceover for the video, see above , which is one minute and 27 seconds and is a collection of images and footage from the scene.
This video cannot be seen on the official BBC website or its social media channels.

A BBC spokesperson has also confirmed this is not their video.
The clip starts with a graphic image of bodies scattered on the ground - something that the BBC is unlikely to air (and which the Mirror has chosen not to show).
It goes on to show missiles and claims the serial numbers are similar to the ones fired by the Ukrainian military.
The text continues: "When the missile factory numbers hit social media, the Ukrainian media stopped covering this topic.
"Military experts stress that Ukraine has often started using fake news to promote its position."
In another part of the video, the text refers to the Ukrainian president "Zelenskyy" when the BBC website spells his surname as "Zelensky".
Russia's propaganda machine has repeatedly claimed they have not been responsible for horrific attacks on civilian infrastructure including hospitals and schools.
Last Friday, a missile blast at a train station in Ukraine targeted thousands of civilians who were trying to evacuate to safety as Russia focuses its troops on eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky accused the invading troops of "cynically destroying the civilian population" and called it "an evil without limits".
However, Russian-backed separatists in Donetsk claimed Ukrainian forces were responsible.
In response, the Russian Defence Ministry said its Army did not have any targets assigned in Kramatorsk at the time of the attack.
It claimed the type of missile involved is only used by Ukrainian forces.
A spokesperson from the BBC told The Mirror: "We are aware of a fake video with BBC News branding suggesting Ukraine was responsible for last week’s missile attack on Kramatorsk train station.
"The BBC is taking action to have the video removed. We urge people not to share it and to check stories on the BBC News website."
