A video assembled to look like a BBC report about Ukraine's first lady seeking political asylum has been shared by social media users but is a fake, a spokesperson for the outlet has said.
The video mimics the British broadcaster's formatting for visual reports on social media, with multiple uses of its logo, red and white branding, and familiar typeface.
BBC News did not release such a story. The boy in the photo is named Roman Oleksiv - he received burns as a result of a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia in 2022.
This video, like Kateryna Levchenko's quote, is fabricated by propagandists.
Fake.
Context: The image was a misleadingly edited screenshot of an article that ran in the New York Post. The real headline of that article was, "Meet the tough women leaders taking on Vladimir Putin."
The claim that BBC News labelled a photo of Ukraine's Ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, as the "next president of Ukraine" is unfounded and constitutes disinformation. The screenshot, purportedly taken from a BBC News broadcast, has been faked.
WHAT WAS CLAIMED: A UK regional newspaper says 70,000 Ukrainian Soldiers died in Kursk.
OUR VERDICT: False. The newspaper front page is fake.
The propagandists fabricated a screenshot of a Ukrainian news article with a quote purporting to be from Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, saying that EU countries 'owe' Ukraine for security. In reality, Podolyak said that each country independently determines the amount of military assistance Ukraine can expect.
A post shared on Facebook claims to show a Charlie Hebdo magazine cover of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence that this image was created by the magazine. It is fake.
Telegram channels that spread this fake about Musk actually used a fragment of an interview he and Trump did in February. [...] During the program, Ukraine was mentioned once - by the host of the show. The discussion was actually dedicated to criticisms of DOGE's activities and a "constitutional crisis" in America. Elon Musk didn't mention Ukraine even once.
Neither Euronews nor any other trustworthy source has reported such an incident.
