“Recent photo showing the coffins of US soldiers who died while fighting for Ukraine in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war”
What FACTLY found
The image shared in the post shows an old photo of caskets bearing the remains of crew members whose Black Hawk helicopter crashed on a training mission in Kuwait in 2005. The U.S. Department of Defence published this image in April 2005. The image shared in the post is old and has nothing to do with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war
