When the residents of Tver, a town 100 miles north of Moscow, woke up this morning, they were met with a worrying sight: columns of military vehicles flying the Ukrainian flag driving through the city.

Their first thought was that they had been invaded.

“I have to say that this is surreal,” said one driver who posted footage online. He added that he was nervous and didn't know what was going on.

But the truth was more banal. A Russian crew was filming the entire thing for an upcoming movie about the Ukraine war.

'Musician' is set to be the first film about the conflict, which began when Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

The mix-up was quickly picked up on social media.
