Don't get me wrong, I'm generally pro-Ukraine and tend to trust The Guardian... I just thought this photo looked a bit 'off' and wondered if it was just me?

Notably, this photo is listed as being in Russia, and the source is Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov. The source isn't a particularly reliable one, but I'm also not seeing any definitive evidence that the image isn't real. Theres no weird alignment/disjointing of the bricks, no identifiable logical errors, and no watermarks. There are a bunch of elements that look weird, like how the bricks end on the second floor wall, whatever it is in the middle window, how the smoke curls very evenly around the roof piece, and the uniformity of the concrete rubble, but given the low resolution, none of this is clear enough to be definitive.

I also notably tried to track down the original copy, but it was in a telegram channel, not anything easy to verify.

It does have that look but going through the details, nothing really stands out as out of place.

The remaining roof eve has been Photoshop at least - sloppy job

The brick coloring looks more vivid than I'm used to, that might be why my uncanny valley of construction is triggered.

Also, the smoke results in something that might seem like details are blurred, the latter of which is a common aigen artifact.
