Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky says Vladimir Putin has broken 25 peace agreements in the past decade

Three decades after the end of the Cold War, one of Russia's most persistent falsehoods is gaining new traction in Western debate: the claim that NATO's eastward expansion provoked Russia's war against Ukraine.

Verdict: False.
There is no evidence that this outlet reported this. There is no evidence that 70,000 Ukrainian troops died in the Kursk offensive.

The Verdict: Fake.
The headline is fabricated. The Hull Daily Mail published a different front page on March 13.

Does a viral image authentically show European leaders taking off their suit coats in support of Ukraine during a group picture? No, that's not true: The image is likely a screenshot from a video that was digitally edited, possibly using AI. Actual footage of the moment the group picture was taken did not show anyone taking off their suit and no news outlets reported about it happening at the time.

This is not a real video. A watermark in the bottom right corner suggests it was made by OpenAI's text-to-video artificial intelligence model, Sora.

VERDICT: False. CNN did not publish a video of Marco Rubio saying he would convince Elon Musk to end Ukraine's access to Starlink. Rubio has said there was no such threat.

After InfoWars reporter Jamie White was fatally shot March 10 in Austin, Texas, police said they believe the suspects were burglarizing White's car when White interrupted them.
White is not on a Ukrainian enemies list. In June 2024, Texty.org.ua, an independent Ukrainian media outlet, shared online a list of research subjects as part of its analysis of rhetoric opposing Ukrainian aid. White was among the people whose statements were analyzed.
Texty did not refer to White as an "enemy" of Ukraine, nor did the outlet call for him to be harmed or killed.

What was claimed:
A photo shows President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently wearing a suit to meet WEF founder Klaus Schwab because he is his "actual boss", amid criticism Mr Zelenskyy received for not wearing one to meet President Trump.
Our verdict:
This photo shows the two men in suits in 2020, before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, after which President Zelenskyy stopped wearing suits publicly.

What was claimed: A video shows the Ukrainian flag being flown from the top of the Statue of Liberty.
Our verdict: This is not a real video. A watermark in the bottom right corner suggests it was made by OpenAI's text-to-video artificial intelligence model, Sora.
