Does a video show a Russian submarine arriving in Havana, Cuba, in May 2026? No, that's not true: The footage dates back to June 2024, when a nuclear-powered Russian submarine and three Russian warships arrived in Havana as part of a port visit coinciding with Russian naval exercises in the Caribbean. The clip resurfaced in social media posts falsely claiming it depicted such an event in May 2026.
A claim circulating widely on platforms alleges that Russia has officially announced that all future oil and gas deals with Europe will be priced in Chinese yuan. The claim is often framed as a major geopolitical shift away from Western currencies and presented as breaking news. However we found this claim to be misleading. [...] There is no credible evidence that Russia has announced that all future oil and gas deals with Europe will be priced in Chinese yuan.
The claim of a broken NATO promise does not stand up to scrutiny. NATO never adopted any policy promising not to expand, and it could not have done so without formal consensus among its members - a fact of which the Soviets were fully aware.
No treaty or official commitment exists, and it is not even clear that such assurances were ever made or discussed. The Soviet leader himself later stated that all agreed terms were fully honored by NATO.
The video is a fabrication. Al Jazeera has not published any investigation on this topic. In reality, UK, France, and Germany have led an international coalition countering Iran's blockade and pushing for the restoration of freedom of navigation.
Fake: 'Ukrainians Commit One Third of All Sexual Crimes Against Women in Europe and the UK - Eurostat.' Eurostat or any other credible source published no such data. Propagandists fabricated the video, and the figures it contains are made up.
A video circulating online is purportedly obtained by Hungarian intelligence services from the phone of a Ukrainian serviceman. It shows a group of individuals in military uniforms discussing a plan to forcibly overturn the outcome of Hungary's parliamentary elections in the event of a Tisza party defeat - with Ukrainian intelligence services allegedly coordinating the operation alongside the Hungarian opposition. The video did not originate with Hungarian intelligence. It was first published by ZАЧИСТКА, a Russian propaganda Telegram channel [...] The footage carries the hallmarks of a staged production.
The video is a fabrication. NewsGuard has published no such material alleging Ukrainian interference in foreign elections.
President Donald Trump lashed out at NATO and other allies for not supporting the United States in its war against Iran before both countries agreed to a two-week ceasefire in April 2026. Criticising South Korea for supposedly not doing enough despite receiving US military support, Trump claimed 45,000 American soldiers are stationed in the Asian nation. But a review of US legislation and defence data found the number is around 28,500, lower than Trump's figure.
Claim: An image authentically shows an Israeli passport belonging to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. [...] It was not the first time the image of Zelenskyy's alleged Israeli passport spread online - it first emerged in December 2025 from a parody account on X that the platform has since suspended. Because Snopes was unable to identify any earlier instances of the image, we've rated this claim as originated as satire.
Fake: Reuters Claims Ukrainian Funding Linked to Anti-Trump "No Kings" Protests [...] Reuters has published no such report, nor has any other credible outlet produced documentation of Ukrainian involvement in the "No Kings" protests. The video circulating online under the Reuters logo is a fabrication; its voiceover was generated using artificial intelligence.
