The senators visited Kyiv on May 30, 2025, but the alleged $814,000 expense covered a State Department hotel contract for June lodging in Kyiv.
Trump never made the above statement, nor did he call on Ukraine to compensate Russia for destroyed aircraft. We found no evidence in his publicized statements, in the news media or on his social media accounts to corroborate the claim. As such, it is an incorrect attribution.
Did U.S. President Donald Trump complain on social media that Ukraine's attacks on Russia interfere with his sleep? No, that's...
Did President Trump say that Ukraine must compensate Russia for the aircraft it destroyed in a June 1, 2025, drone attack on Russian air bases? No, that's not true: There is no record of President Trump posting these words on his social media accounts or saying them publicly. A Google search for the quote finds it only on social media posts not related to Trump. No news media reported the quote, although the photo on the meme of Trump speaking in the Oval Office would suggest he said it there in front of journalists.
The post provides no evidence for its claims and instead links to a digital book that claims to have 'hidden insights from the esoteric realm'

Ukraine has no connection to the attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump by American citizen Ryan Root. The only link between Root and Ukraine is that he allegedly tried to buy a rocket launcher and a surface-to-air missile from someone he believed to be a Ukrainian arms dealer. However, it remains unclear whether this seller was in fact a Ukrainian citizen. Root also communicated with other illegal arms dealers in the US, as well as smugglers from Mexico who allegedly helped him escape the country after the attempt on Trump's life. According to court documents, Root had no links to the Ukrainian government or military leadership.
The statement about the proposal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resettle the population of Gaza to Ukraine and Syria is a fake.
