The claim
A social media user claims to show "[f]irst images of the truck driver at Irkutsk airbase" and included a photo of what's made to look like an ID card from Ukraine.
Original review summary
The review says the purported ID card had suspicious features and had circulated in disinformation claims since at least 2022. It identifies the man pictured as US comedian Sam Hyde, not the truck driver claimed in the post.[S1]
