Did the late Rob Reiner publicly say he was developing a television series about Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump called "The Spy and the Asset"? Yes, that is true: Reiner announced the project in 2020 on the Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC. He again talked about it on the Dean Obeidallah Show on Sirius XMradio in 2021.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in India for defence and trade talks on December 4, an old video surfaced in social media posts falsely claiming it showed New Delhi sending fighter jets to escort the leader's plane. The footage was published by Russian state news agency Sputnik in December 2017 and shows Putin's plane being escorted by Russian jets en route to Egyptian capital Cairo after a visit to Syria.
The viral image showing Vladimir Putin posing with the Bhagavad Gita on a plane is AI-generated and not real.
French Decree No. 2025-1030 - the document Russian outlets point to as proof of Paris allegedly greenlighting a private military company for Ukraine - does nothing of the sort.
