A social media user posted a video they claim shows Russian President Vladimir Putin threatening Kenya.
"Russia targets African Countries with missiles for talking about Russian Ukrainian War," reads the caption of a Feb. 27 Facebook post featuring the video. "PUTIN DECLARE WAR ON KENYA."
The video shows Putin seated at a desk and speaking in Russian.
Subtitles quote him as saying: "I have made a decision of a military operation. How can Kenya invade into our missions? Kenya has put itself in a war that it can't even shoot a single bullet. Bombing Kenya will only take few minutes for my military men. As from now we'll start sending our missiles to Nairobi so we can destruct Kenya.”
The video was viewed more than 300,000 times.
But the subtitles are wrong. The video shows a Feb. 24 Russian state television broadcast in which Putin describes his reasoning for a military operation in Ukraine, according to The New York Times. The video does not mention Kenya.
Multiple independent fact-checking organizations also reported that the subtitles in the video are inaccurate.
USA TODAY reached out to the Facebook user who shared the post for comment.
