A video from the Brest Region.

A Belarusian user posted a video on TikTok showing a truck loaded with firewood driving through Pripyat. According to him, the video was filmed in the Stolin District, reports "Zerkalo".

In the video from September 11, a ZIL truck carrying firewood is seen crossing a river. It is claimed that this is the Pripyat River.

In the comments, the author stated that the river was crossed “near Olshan.”

“People live on that island, and I’m delivering firewood to them,” the author wrote.

In the comments, people speculated that the video was created using artificial intelligence and also noted that the ZIL truck could have passed through Pripyat as early as 2015.

Judging by the specified geographic location—the island and Olshany—this may refer to the area around the “Pripyatsky Stan” tourist complex. It is located precisely on Kuren Island in Olshansky
