218/02/2022Polish-speaking saboteurs attacked a sewage facility in an attempt to place a tank of chlorine for a false flag attack. Video was recovered from the body of one of the attackers.https://t.me/nm_dnr/6192Meta data shows the video was filmed on the Feb 8th, days earlier than the stated date of the incident. The video has also been manipulated by adding the sound of explosions from a YouTube video from a Finnish military exercise. 1. https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1495355366141534208?s=20&t=EFFBX_qpcjRxRt34m1T9bg

318/02/2022Car bomb targeted the head of the DNR militiahttps://t.me/DNR_SCKK/5994The UAZ destroyed in the explosions appears to have the same number plates as a UAZ Patriot, a much newer vehicle, photographed months before. This has not been independently verified.1. https://twitter.com/TadeuszGiczan/status/1495015587873009667?s=20&t=3uKEDilqVUX2uYvlrA9uHg

420/02/2022Video of civillian with amputated leg after shelling. Includes footage immediatly after the attack and with the casualty in hospital. https://t.me/millnr/7172The base for a prosthetic leg is clearly visible in the first video suggesting individual had already lost leg prior to alleged incident. 1. https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1495736730548322310?s=20&t=QVIUBWYbIum2Kc_ueBJXOA

521/02/2022Shelling of border post by Ukrainian forces
https://twitter.com/ru_rbc/status/1495704974248054786?s=20&t=QVIUBWYbIum2Kc_ueBJXOA
Filmed in same location as Incident 6. Appears to have been direct hit with a single shell, which is an unlikely outcome for conventional artillery. There is the possibility it was a guided shell, but this seems unlikely considering the context. Taking into account the fact it was filmed at the same location as Incident 6, this incident is considered unlikely to be genuine.1. https://twitter.com/CITeam_en/status/1495759836843286529?s=20&t=UW5A6JCMsZsG_GWAqfWb-g

621/02/2022Ukrainian incursion into Russian territority with infantry and armour. https://t.co/sgbFFJW1M7Filmed at same location as Incident 5. This is well within separatist territory and therefore extremely unlikely be Ukrainian forces. The fact it was filmed at the same location as incident 5, reportedly on the same day, further reduces its credability. Vehicle seen (BTR 70M) is reportedly not used by the Ukrainian armed forces.1. https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1495775073906610180?s=20&t=eVxj8Dz0ztlLksoRbiSUzw 2. https://twitter.com/N_Waters89/status/1495782339137478660?s=20&t=Vn8F0cA59cuIbDD2bynEWw 3. https://twitter.com/oryxspioenkop/status/1495886456807694336?s=20&t=9g0QkYf2KQyiM6Wl8CAKbg

721/02/2022Russian President, Vladimir Putin, scheduled an emergency Security Council meeting after the leaders of the LPR & DNR requested Russia to recognise their independence. After the meeting, Putin addressed the nation and then signed into law the official recognition of the LPR & DNR as independent states.

2. Putin's address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W57I2mzAr9c&t=6s
Despite the Security Council reportedly taking place at 1700 local time, watches on the particpants indicated it took place several hours earlier, at around 1200.

Watches of participants at the signing ceremony, which was purported to be after the Security Council meeting, showed times of around 10:15. N.B: the signing ceremony was streamed at approximately 2236, so the stream could have been delayed by 20 minutes, and the documents were in fact signed at 10:15 PM. 		1. https://twitter.com/Forrest_Rogers/status/1496254107660738568
