Contrary to allegations, it was not a Russian tank deliberately running over a civilian. The incident actually involved a Ukrainian tank. The armoured vehicle is a Strela-10, a model of anti-aircraft missile launcher used by the Ukrainian army.<ref>https://observers.france24.com/en/europe/20220301-video-debunked-russian-tank-crush-civilian-car-kyiv</ref> − − ===Miss Ukraine joins militia=== − [[ABC News]] reported that Miss Ukraine beauty contest winner took up arms to defend her country against Russia.

Soon, on the basis of the 'Sect,' a 'Schidna Corps' was formed—a volunteer formation that soon entered the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was supposed to protect Kharkiv in the event of a war on its territory.

Zelensky and his officials lied to the world. Worse, their lie suggested that all those who chose inaction were essentially collaborators in the next [[holocaust]].

The 13 Ukrainians, the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky said, died “heroically.” He later promised to recognize each solder with the title of Hero of Ukraine. Days later, however, the Ukraine Navy revealed that the guards had actually been “taken captive by Russian occupiers” and were all still alive. After running the story as fact, even [[CNN]] was forced to add the following update: “The Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island were all feared to have been killed in the Russian attack on February 24. On February 28, however, the Ukrainian Navy released a statement saying the troops were ‘alive and well,’ but were forced to surrender ‘due to the lack of ammunition.’” Evidence of their survival had emerged before February 28. Footage appeared to show Snake Island soldiers receiving water and rations from their captors.<ref>https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1497467132950548486</ref>
