Will do a thread on verifying information in a crisis tomorrow because this is resonating way too much. To prepare for it, remember two things: Provenance and provenance (is this the original version, and how do you know?). 
If you can remember three things, then: Source--Who created the original piece of content? How do you know? Are they reliable? An effective manipulation tactic is creating the video your target wants to see. If you want to believe what the video shows you will be easier to fool.
Maybe it's a mil-blogger, and the video makes Russia look guilty. Share it, right? You just shared a deliberate fake created to make pro-Ukraine supporters look like they aren't trustworthy. "War on Fakes" releases the proof the video is fake, perhaps metadata left behind.
Past examples include things like explosions, injuries, and oddly granular personal stories (people connect with these emotionally). Another very successful kind of fake is the real video in the wrong context. propublica.org/article/in-the…
Here's an example. #ChinaCoup went viral based on seemingly nothing. Videos of an explosion appeared. It was clearly real and in China, which is why it was so convincing. The problem is it was from years earlier. The video was shared by OSINT accounts.

You can see that debunk featured on ABC.
