The claim was based on a fake, unverified article that was later deleted, with the publishing website issuing a public apology. Maksym Savrasov and other Ukrainian officials denied the claim.
But the criticism of Zelenskyy's lack of traditional tie-and-jacket attire misses an obvious question: Why does he dress like that? As it turns out, the black tactical gear he wore to the Oval Office - much like his now-iconic olive-green fleeces and combat boots - is part of a growing visual shift in Ukraine, marked by the war's impact on the clothing industry and the military's now central place in Ukrainian culture.
I spoke to Illia Ponomarenko - a Ukrainian journalist who has covered the war, written for the Kyiv Post and The Kyiv Independent and authored I Will Show You How It Was: The Story of Wartime Kyiv - about the real meaning behind Zelenskyy's style. "The clothes are more than clothes," he said. "They are part of a culture of people who are involved in this war."
A video, claiming to show an Ukrainian female soldier applying make-up in a war zone with allegations that Ukraine is staging fake combat scenarios to gain financial aid from the United States, is widely circulating on social media.
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FABRICATED.
AI-generated audio has been added to the clip, falsely making it seem like the BBC correspondent swore about the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting on air.
What was claimed
A video shows the moment President Zelenskyy said "f*** him" when asked about President Donald Trump's latest comments on Ukraine before entering Number 10 Downing Street.
Our verdict
The clip is misleading, and this isn't what President Zelenskyy said. He responded to a journalist by saying: "I'm OK, thank you so much", and did not utter an expletive.
What was claimed
BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse was caught on a hot mic after the meeting of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump in the White House, saying: "This is the second time ever that a US president ****s someone in the Oval Office."
Our verdict
This audio clip has been faked. Mr Waterhouse says it is AI-generated, and a full clip of the report shows no such comments were broadcast.
Recently, a video claiming that Ukraine's flag was raised on the Statue of Liberty went viral online.
Misbar investigated the viral claim and found it to be fake; the clip was originally published on TikTok and labeled "AI-generated."
What was claimed
A video shows Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying the US will have to send their sons and daughters to fight in Ukraine.
Our verdict
This clip is from 2023 and has been taken out of context. In the full video, Mr Zelenskyy discusses how Ukraine losing the war would risk Russia invading Baltic NATO member states, potentially leading to US involvement on the ground.
A TikTok user posted a video claiming to show Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insulting United States President Donald Trump during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on March 1. It turns out, however, that Zelensky didn't insult Trump - the video has been manipulated.
A video has surfaced on TikTok of luxury cars pulling up to a private jet with a caption suggesting that it shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy using billions to fund such a lifestyle.
The Verdict False
The video comes from the Instagram account of a private jet provider company and nothing in the original post links the jet and cars to Zelenskyy.
