In a report by the Washington Post, Kremlin documents expose Putin's administration using Russian political strategists to push a disinformation campaign against Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
No evidence of lethal Pfizer trial in Ukraine
The former president continued to criticize fellow NATO members' spending, but he overstated how much more the U.S. has spent to fund Ukraine's defense.
Not content with simply creating and spreading fake news, anti-Ukraine trolls are now also using a new disinformation tactic: a method dubbed "Operation Matryoshka" (or Russian doll), which has been exposed by the "Bot Blocker" collective and AFP fact checkers. It is designed to divert the attention of journalists and muddy the waters of information even more.
True.
Based on a Russian transcript of Vladimir Putin's interview with Tucker Carlson, Newsweek verified Putin said Adolf Hitler was "forced" to invade Poland, an inaccurate interpretation of the circumstances leading to World War II.
While translations do not use the word "forced" or "compelled", they broadly match its meaning.
False.
The claim that the Mirotvorets list, which Alex Jones and Infowars refer to as a "kill list," is inaccurate, as is the claim that Tucker Carlson was added to it following reports he had interviewed Vladimir Putin.
The list does not advocate violence toward those on it, which is part of an NGO, non-state-funded effort by Ukrainian activists to list "enemies of Ukraine."
Carlson has been listed on the site since mid-2023.
Claim: Borrell said in an article for the French newspaper L'Obs that the idea of a diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is wrong. Instead of facilitating peace between Moscow and Kyiv, he proposed transferring more offensive weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces, needed to try to seize the territory of the new Russian regions.
Fact check: This is a grave misrepresentation of Josep Borrell's Op-ed published in the "Nouvel Obs" on 30 January 2024. The Op-ed was not about conciliation between Ukraine and Russia, but about conciliation efforts between the EU and Russia.
