The propagandists fabricated a screenshot of a Ukrainian news article with a quote purporting to be from Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, saying that EU countries 'owe' Ukraine for security. In reality, Podolyak said that each country independently determines the amount of military assistance Ukraine can expect.
Telegram channels that spread this fake about Musk actually used a fragment of an interview he and Trump did in February. [...] During the program, Ukraine was mentioned once - by the host of the show. The discussion was actually dedicated to criticisms of DOGE's activities and a "constitutional crisis" in America. Elon Musk didn't mention Ukraine even once.
A post shared on Facebook claims to show a Charlie Hebdo magazine cover of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence that this image was created by the magazine. It is fake.
VERDICT: Altered. The image is a manipulated version of an authentic group photo.
Neither Euronews nor any other trustworthy source has reported such an incident.
Russia itself has not stopped attacking Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure for a single day - neither after Zelenskyy's promise to stop such attacks, nor after Putin's conversation with Donald Trump, during which the Russian leader supposedly ordered a halt to attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. After the alleged 'agreement to stop strikes', Russia continues to launch more than a hundred attack drones into Ukraine every day, targeting energy facilities, among other targets. The most massive attacks after the agreement between Putin and Trump were Russian strikes on the regions of Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Zaporizhzhya, Donetsk, Sumy and Kyiv regions.
No video with such content was published by the French news channel BFMTV.
This video is fake. Propagandists used the French newspaper's branding to fabricate a story about a non-existent poll. According to recent polls, Putin is widely disliked in France - only 10% of respondents view him positively.
The Verdict: Fake.
Comparing the original CNN video with the viral clip shows that AI audio was inserted to falsely portray Rubio threatening to cut Starlink to Ukraine.
The Verdict False.
The viral video is a clip from a music video by a Ukrainian combat medic who goes by the call sign 'Vitsik' and an artist called Misha Scorpion.
