- US Ambassador to Ukraine posted satellite images on Twitter apparently showing artillery strikes within Ukrainian territory allegedly originating from Russian forces from across the border.
- The photographs, allegedly supplied by the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, created a furore on the social media prompting quick reactions.
- Russian defence minister called them fake and rejected them as photographic evidence due to its extreme low resolution and absence of attribution to any exact area.
- Many questioned the manner in which it was posted on social media, rather than having taking it to Russia through proper diplomatic channels.
- Ukraine govt however retweeted the picture, suggesting it approves of the same.
