The 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War Video refers to a propaganda video posted by an official Ukrainian military Facebook account which used music by Crazy Frog. This was following February 24, 2022, where Russia invaded Ukraine, escalating the Russo-Ukrainian War that was ongoing since 2014.[1]
On April 29, 2022, the official verified Facebook page for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted a video of a Russian tank infiltrating Ukrainian land, with dramatic music playing in the background.[2] The music then fades into the Crazy Frog cover of Axel F, as the tank is shown burning (presumably after a drone strike). The description of the video reads:
(original)
єТАНЧИК Окупанти продовжують гинути у безславній та безцільній для них війні.
Разом переможемо!
потери #плен
(translated to English)
The occupiers continue to die in an inglorious and purposeless war for them.
Together we will win!
Reception
The video spread on Twitter following it being posted to Facebook. Most reception to the tweet was in disbelief that the account would use music by Crazy Frog, given the situation. For example, Twitter user Nick Waters stated:
Imagine going back to 2005 and telling someone that the Crazy Frog cover of Axel F would one day be used in an official video released by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces showing invading Russian units being destroyed by artillery.[3]
The official Crazy Frog Twitter account did not post a response to the video.
