Eleven charts illustrate the extraordinary level of support the United States has provided Ukraine in recent years - though there has been no new U.S. aid legislation since 2024, and combined European aid tops U.S. contributions.
The quote that circulated online was correctly attributed to Hill. At the time of this writing, Snopes could not independently verify whether the U.S. had carried out the swap Hill said Russia wanted in 2019 or whether such a deal made the Trump administration's January 2026 capture of Maduro possible.
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.
President Donald Trump claimed on social media on Sunday that "UKRAINE 'LEADERSHIP' HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS" in relation to the war there.
Trump's claim is not even close to accurate.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed gratitude to the United States on dozens of occasions - 78 examples are listed below - since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of his country in early 2022. And Zelensky has repeatedly expressed gratitude to Trump personally since Trump was elected again last fall.
Claim by ukraina.ru:
Zelensky Blocked Trump-Putin Meeting
StopFake rating:
Kyiv flatly contradicted the narrative, with the Ukrainian President underscoring his support for diplomatic negotiations and asserting his readiness to participate in a prospective Trump-Putin summit.
Claim by Viral social media post:
Zelensky Said He "No Longer Feels Welcome in the U.S." After Meeting With Trump
StopFake rating:
The quote attributed to President Volodymyr Zelensky, claiming he "no longer feels like a welcome guest in the United States," is entirely fabricated. No such remark appears in official transcripts, press releases, or credible media coverage. In reality, Zelensky's statements following his meeting with Donald Trump were measured, underscoring Ukraine's willingness to maintain constructive dialogue and cooperation with Washington.
The CNN report on this matter is entirely fabricated, and no other U.S. news outlet has published similar claims.
The assertion that Ukraine has been left without school textbooks following the closure of a USAID program is a manipulation. In reality, the USAID program was implemented as planned, and textbook provision continues through funding from Ukraine's state budget. Such disinformation is intended to sow panic and erode public trust in both Ukrainian authorities and international partners.
Rating: Originated as satire.
In a statement to Snopes, Naseem Amini, spokesperson for the Times, wrote: "The New York Times did not publish this story, and none of the writers listed are employed by The Times."
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.
