GoPro footage released by RT, and that is circulating across Russian Telegram channels right now, shows a Russian Soldier clearing a Ukrainian trench line. Towards the end of the video, the Russian turns of a dead body to show the Norwegian flag stitched into the uniform of the fighter.

Across Telegram right now, many pro-Russian sources are stating that this is evidence of Norwegian Troops on the ground in Ukraine. In more neutral spaces, and across a lot of Pro-Ukrainian spaces, the validity of the video is being brought into question, with many people saying the footage appears to be staged.

We have no way to independently verify any of the claims either way. We are publishing the footage in the rawest format available due to the sheer number of people who are slapping 47 watermarks on it.
