Video shows Russian drone striking Ukraine, not Indian drone intercepted by Pakistan | Snopes.com
The footage does not depict Pakistani forces shooting down an Indian drone. Rather, it shows a Russian drone falling outside Kharkiv, Ukraine.

What was claimed: A video shows Russian president Vladimir Putin laughing with his face in his hands during a comedy routine in which Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears to play the piano with his penis, before he became president of Ukraine.
Our verdict: False. These two clips are from different events and have been edited together to misleadingly make it appear as if President Putin was in the audience for the routine.
The story by the British tabloid The Sun on this topic is fabricated, and the comment by a royal expert in it is taken from an old video on a completely different topic.
There is no evidence in the video of the presence of the TCC, military personnel or document checks. In fact, the 'Easter races' are a regional tradition: it is believed that the first person to return home after church will have good luck and prosperity on their land for the next year.
The fragment of the greeting that is being shared online was created specifically for a foreign audience. The president congratulated Ukrainians in state language.
The document in the photo is a consent form for legal posthumous organ donation in the province of Ontario, Canada. Only Canadian citizens or those who have permanent residence, as well as state health insurance, can apply for donation. Most likely, the propagandists simply downloaded the form from the Internet.
A video of NATO troops and armoured vehicles in Estonia in February is not evidence of a recent military escalation with Russia, as has been suggested online.
VERDICT: Miscaptioned. The video shows NATO troops in Tallinn on February 24, 2025, for Estonia's Independence Day, according to NATO and British officials. Photos posted online in 2024 suggest the three armoured vehicles in the video were in Estonia long before February.
The Verdict False.
The viral video is a clip from a music video by a Ukrainian combat medic who goes by the call sign 'Vitsik' and an artist called Misha Scorpion.
A video featuring people in military uniforms walking on a landscape with their hands in the air was recently shared on social media. Those sharing the video claimed that the Ukrainian army surrendered in the Kursk region of Russia.
However, the PTI Fact Check investigated and found that the viral video dates back to 2022 when the Ukrainian marines surrendered in Mariupol and is unrelated to the ongoing conflict in the Kursk region.
As discussions continue surrounding a potential ceasefire agreement in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has come under fire for allegedly purchasing a lavish mansion in Florida. But as FRANCE 24's Charlotte Hughes explains, this claim is false.
