The pro-Ukraine accounts posted the video on Monday.
The ministry of defense was one of the accounts that reposted it.

There was a Sunday morning in the peninsula. There is another Su 25 that is down. The ministry said incompetence at all levels.
Two Russian fighter jets take off. Both jets left shortly after takeoff. A person fell to the ground and caused an explosion.
For most of the recent invasion, the peninsula was too far away from the front lines to see any fighting, but was used as a staging area by the Russians.
In August, the territory of Russia was shown to be not safe by the strike on the air base.
Insider couldn't independently verify when the video was taken and when it was uploaded. Insider couldn't find a record of the footage that was filmed before Monday.
Third Ukrainian Republic is the official Telegram account of a Ukrainian political party.
Rob Lee was one of the experts who posted and discussed the footage.
The clip was reshared by an advisor to the Ukrainian government. It looked low if that was Russian spirit.
Both Russia and Ukraine have used the Su 25 in the conflict. Some of the most sustained air-to-air combat in decades was caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russian and Ukrainian fighters prefer to attack at low altitudes near the frontline because neither side wants to go deep into enemy airspace.
Insider reported that at least 49 Russian and 37 Ukrainian warplanes were confirmed lost.
Russian troops have been forced to retreat from the eastern region of Kharkiv, according to reports.
