A video showing a helicopter going up in a cloud of smoke and flames after landing is being shared on social media.
The claim: Users are sharing the 17-seconds long clip linking it to the helicopter which crashed in Kyiv, Ukraine on 18 January.
The aircraft crashed near a residential building and a kindergarten in a town called Brovary, claiming 18 lives. One of the deceased was Ukraine's Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyy.
