Video leaked to the internet from an unknown source claims to show Russian Rebels advancing on Russian forces inside of a Russian city. The video has since been geo-located as combat footage from inside of Ukraine, specifically Chornobyl.

Initially, this video was posted as combat footage that was recorded recently near Nova Tavolzhanka in Russia. That was quickly debunked and the footage was then relocated as footage from Shebekino, Russia. The entire thing was debunked however by GeoConfirmed on Twitter pulled up pictures of the building at the beginning of the video on Google street view, confirming that this footage was indeed filmed in Chornobyl at the very beginning of the conflict when Russian forces were still fighting in the Kyiv region.
