There's Missing Context to That Viral Photo of Ukrainian Great Grandmother 'Training' on an AK-47

As concerns continue to grow that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is imminent, NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel and other western journalists tweeted out a now-viral photo of Valentina Constantinovska, whom Engel identified as a "Ukrainian great grandmother…on an Ak-47 training to defend against a possible Russian attack." 

"Your mother would do it too," the woman reportedly told Engel. According to other media outlets, she said she's "ready to shoot if something happens" to "defend my home, my city, my children." 

She acknowledged, however, that she wouldn't make the best soldier "because my body doesn't serve me that much anymore and the weapon is too heavy for me." 

As many social media users pointed out, however, there's also more to the photo Engel tweeted than meets the eye.
