Not Krasnoarmeisk but Lugansk. The question arises as to why the Russians got the geo-location so wrong and lied about the car advert having a Krasnoarmeisk address?

The junction in Lugansk where the video was taken.
The billboard did have a Krasnoarmyesk address. They actually naively (at best) or purposely misleading (at worst) believed that the billboard with the address visible of a car dealership in Krasnoarmeysk had to be located in Krasnoarmeysk. It obviously makes more sense to advertise in nearby towns rather than in the town you're located in - which was the case verified by other photographs.

And yes the ID of the video at the intersection in Lughansk is accurate.
