This "news" is spread only by Russian media and Telegram channels. A search for such information in the Israeli media and other sources yielded no results. Obviously, the "news" was invented by Russian propaganda to discredit Ukrainians in the context of the war in Israel.
Out of the 197 fact-checking articles our team wrote in 2023, 52 of them concerned the war in Ukraine. And 50 of those highlighted pro-Russian disinformation aimed at discrediting Kyiv and the Ukrainian war effort.
A post shared on X, formerly Twitter, claims that BBC News published a video about a Ukrainian official being under investigation for sending weapons to Hamas.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence that BBC News published this video
A video spread across social media purports to show an animated digital billboard in New York City with the slogan "Stand With Israel" pushing aside the words "Stand With Ukraine" in November 2023. But the clip is doctored, the latest in a wave of disinformation about the conflicts involving the two countries; the company that owns the sign said it has run no such message, and images AFP and others captured of the display show an advertisement for a movie.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence that the Washington Post published this article. A Washington Post spokesperson denied the claim.
Social media posts claim The Washington Post published an article suggesting Ukraine sent weapons to Hamas following the Palestinian Islamist movement's bloody October 2023 attack on Israel, which sparked a war in the region. This is false; the headline is fabricated and there is no evidence of such aid.
CLAIM: A video shows Russian leader Vladimir Putin announcing Russia will send "help to Palestine" in the latest Israel-Hamas War.
AP'S ASSESSMENT: False. The video is from 2021 and shows Putin speaking at Russia's Victory Day military parade. He doesn't make any references to the Middle East conflict in the speech, but rather talks about the defeat of Nazism. Russia has so far issued carefully calibrated criticism of both sides in the Israel-Hamas war.
Claim: In October 2023, Vladimir Putin said, "There is no way to help the Palestinians except by fighting those behind their conflict, and we are fighting them in Ukraine."

A video has been circling social media of Putin warning the U.S. to not involve themselves in the war between Israel and Hamas. The video contained accompanying English subtitles. But, the subtitles were fabricated, and the video was originally recorded December 2022 regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine.
On Wednesday, in the midst of heightened conflict between Israel and Hamas, the president gave a speech in Tel Aviv, which led Russian state media to run a report in which it was suggested he said he was born in Israel. [...] Biden was not born in Israel. As the public record shows, he was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1942. Israel was not proclaimed as a nation until 1948. The claim was based on misheard comments he made in Tel Aviv earlier this week.
