FACT CHECK: Did the Secretary General of NATO Threaten To Expel the United States?

FACT CHECK: Did Senator Marco Rubio Advocate for Allowing Russia to Control Part of Ukraine to End the War?

Rubio has commented on the need for a pragmatic approach to end the Ukraine conflict, but he hasn't suggested allowing Russia to control Ukrainian territory as a solution. During a recent interview on NBC's Meet the Press and on the Today Show, Rubio said the war appears to be in a "stalemate" and argued for a negotiated settlement as a realistic path to peace. He highlighted the bravery of Ukrainians but expressed concern about the U.S. funding a prolonged conflict, suggesting that a practical end to the hostilities should be prioritized to prevent further destruction and economic strain on Ukraine.

Manipulation: Fukuyama Claims Ukraine Won’t Be Able to Return All Its Territories

Francis Fukuyama did not make such statements in an interview with Radio Svoboda. This conclusion was made by the Russian media. In reality, the American philosopher noted that the only way for Russia to leave the occupied territories is Ukraine's victory. He also said that "the issue that Ukraine will face in the future is the possibility that not 100 percent can be liberated". Yet he specified that all discussions about territorial concessions during future negotiations are speculative, and only the Ukrainians themselves should answer these questions and make decisions.

Fake: Biden Says Money For The Deaths of Ukrainians is an United States’ Investment

Biden was not referring to investments in "killing Ukrainians" or the American military-industrial complex, as the Russian media wrote. The president was talking about investing in the security and stability of the democratic world. Biden noted that when terrorists do not pay the price for their terror, and dictators do not pay for their aggression, they cause even more chaos, death and destruction, triggering a chain of unpunished cruelty around the world.

The American President emphasized that there is a direct link between Ukraine's victory in the Russian war and the well-being of American citizens. Biden emphasized that if we do not stop dictator Putin and his ilk now, after Ukraine and Israel, they will move on to other countries – the NATO countries, including the United States.
