Whilst its tracker was off, the Mikhail Nenashev could be seen in satellite imagery on 23 May at the Avlita terminal in Sevastopol, Crimea, being loaded with what analysts say is grain.
It was seen again on 25 May, this time with its cargo holds covered.

On 22 May the Mikhail Nenashev travelled from the Mediterranean and into the Black Sea. It then turned off its tracker.

To verify it, we first have to make the assumption that this video DOES feature Chernobyl. We then need to find large identifiable objects that could be seen from Google Maps satellite imagery.
In the video we can see the large red/brown structure and the long straight roads.

Additional things can be matched from the satellite image. The markings on the road, highlighted in blue, can be seen to match.

🧵Working out where events occurred is key to understanding how this war might play out.
Yesterday I geo-located this video that is believed to show the aftermath of an attack on an armoured Russian convoy 30 miles from Kyiv.
It was filmed around 50°32'35.3"N 30°13'38.7"E 🧵
Sky News has located the scene by matching buildings in the original video to those found on satellite images. A military expert told us that the aftermath footage is consistent with an air assault or an attack from tanks or missiles.

You can also match a couple of frames in the video with Google street view.
In Mariupol, absolute destruction.
Nearly 20,000 civilians killed. The city is ruined by 95% and obviously can’t harbor a considerable amount of population.
