The video, which appears to be from the BBC, which says Ukrainian missiles were stationed in eastern Ukraine, behind an attack on a Kramatorsk train station that killed at least 52 people on Friday, was wrong, the network said in a statement.
“The BBC is taking steps to remove the video,” the BBC News Press Team wrote in a report on Wednesday.
We know of a fake video with the BBC News brand claiming Ukraine was responsible for the missile attack on a Kramatorsk train station last week. The BBC is taking steps to remove the video. We urge people not to share this and check out the stories on the BBC News website.

The video was broadcast on Russian state television and spread on social media, the BBC reported. According to The Guardian.
This is not the first lie Russia spread during its invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin uses disinformation for atrocities committed by its forces on the ground.
Steve Rosenberg, editor of BBC Russia; The widow of a Russian soldier killed in the war was interviewed, who denied allegations that Russian forces were responsible for war crimes in Ukraine.
Later that night, Rosenberg saw a photo of him interviewing a woman that appeared in an article posted on a Russian website.
“It’s easy to understand how a newly widowed Stavropol resident felt when she spoke to journalists from a country that was complicit in her husband’s death,” Rosenberg said in the article.
Russian state media tried to discredit photos and videos depicting Bucha’s atrocities in Ukraine, but insisted that Ukraine was also behind the attacks. Russian President Vladimir Putin himself said Ukraine’s statements that Russian soldiers were killing civilians in the city in a rare public appearance on Tuesday were “false”.
At the same press conference, Putin said that Russia had “no other option” to continue the war “to ensure Russia’s security” and said that the operation was happening according to plan, even if the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, did not can seize.
Meanwhile, the Russian media was banned. To describe the aggression, the words “war” and “aggression”, which Putin called “special military operations” to aid in the “attack” on Ukraine. The Ukrainian president is Jewish and the UN investigation found no evidence supporting Putin’s statements.
Last month, Russia’s last remaining independent newspaper was forced to suspend its operations after a second warning from the country’s media regulator.
