There is still disagreement on this issue. NATO and Poland indicate it came from Ukraine. They are currently conducting an investigation to determine for sure.

Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.
