Facebook is not taking down a misleading Trump campaign ad that shows a fight between protesters and police in Ukraine in 2014

Facebook will not remove a misleading advert by President Donald Trump's reelection campaign that used a 2014 photo from Ukraine to illustrate "chaos & violence," a source close to the company said.

The ad, which was released on Facebook on Tuesday, sought to contrast "public safety" with "chaos & violence" with two images. The first showed Trump listening to law-enforcement officials, while the second showed an image of protesters appearing to attack a police officer.

However, the image of the protesters was not taken in America in 2020, but in Kyiv, Ukraine, in March 2014. The picture's photographer, Mstyslav Chernov, confirmed the date and location of the image to Business Insider on Wednesday.

Though the advert did not explicitly claim the picture is from the US, it comes at a time when civil unrest in American cities has become a key GOP campaigning point.
