Don’t fall for this supposed anti-Ukrainian billboard declaring ‘Glory to Urine’
Verdict: This video was altered.
Erin Watkins, general counsel for [billboard owner] Big Outdoor, told PolitiFact that “Glory to Urine” never appeared on the billboard and that the “original video that was used to create the doctored images appears to be at least over a year old.”
“The images are 100% fake,” Watkins said.

There is no evidence, though, that this occurred. Check Your Fact did not find any credible news outlets reporting on the alleged billboard. Instead, multiple outlets, including fact-checking website Snopes, reported that the billboard was a viral fake.
