According to a viral graphic, US president Donald Trump warned his Russian counterpart of military action if he did not release Kenyans from combat duties in the war in Ukraine. However, the graphic is fabricated.
A video allegedly produced by Euronews is being spread online. It claims that during the Olympic Games in Milan, Ukrainian refugees Bohdan Honcharenko and Viktor Rudnyk robbed the outlet's film crew. In particular, they allegedly stole equipment worth €30,000 from a car. Milan Police Chief Bruno Megale urged visitors to the Games to keep a close eye on their belongings during the competitions. However, this is fake. Euronews did not publish such a video and did not report that its film crew had been robbed. Milan Police Chief Bruno Megale also did not make such a statement.
False claims that Germany sent all of its power generators to Ukraine during the city's worst blackout since World War II are unfounded.
StopFake rating: This statistic is completely made up.
A review of broadcast recordings and digital forensics shows the claim doesn't hold up. Ukrainian networks aired the official UN feed, while the version circulating online - showing a packed audience - was manipulated footage. [...] A review of the original United News broadcast - including the 1+1 TV segment - found no evidence of any 'added' audience. [...] The authentic broadcast carried unmistakable identifiers - the UN logo in the upper right corner and a Ukrainian-language audio track. By contrast, the fabricated version omitted these details, featured an English-language narration, and bore visible traces of AI manipulation.
Is there any evidence for a story being spread online about "Olena K.", a Ukrainian anti-corruption official who supposedly defected to Europe and revealed real-estate corruption involving President Zelenskyy worth $1.2 billion ? No, that's not true: The story did not contain any verifiable details or documents and no media reported on the supposed events. The London Telegraph, the website where the story originated, was only registered in August 2025 and the profile picture of the journalist who supposedly wrote the story was stolen from the social media profile of a different journalist.
The quote that Russian propaganda attributed to Vance is fabricated. We were unable to find any confirmation in any credible Western media that the US Vice President really commented on Ukraine's ability to make payments to the families of fallen soldiers and voiced such statistics. Moreover, the original source of the so-called quote is the X profile " Reagan Ronald " with the telling bio "Ban for fact-checking!" and the "parody account" tag.
Several pro-Russian websites have reported that two British army officers were captured by Russian special forces during a raid into Ukraine. It turns out, however, that the story is false and the photos meant to show the captured soldiers were generated by artificial intelligence. But that hasn't stopped this fake news item from being spread in at least 13 countries.
There is no such story on the Ukrayinska Pravda website.
The CNN report on this matter is entirely fabricated, and no other U.S. news outlet has published similar claims.
