Claim by Viral social media post: Trump Administration Did Not Meet Zelensky in the Airport During His Visit to the United States

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.
French authorities-including the Paris prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Culture, and local police-have not reported any arrests of Ukrainian refugees in connection with a theft at the Louvre. The claim appears exclusively on pro-Russian disinformation channels, underscoring its origins as a propaganda-driven falsehood.
Amid ongoing talks among Western allies over providing Ukraine with U.S. Tomahawk long-range missiles, Russian propaganda escalated a disinformation campaign. Seeking to undermine a potential U.S. decision to supply advanced weaponry, Kremlin-linked media falsely claimed that President Volodymyr Zelensky had openly admitted to planning terrorist strikes inside Russia using American missiles. [...] In reality, the Ukrainian president emphasized that any use of U.S.-supplied Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles would be strictly limited to military targets.
Does a viral video really show a Russian Su-27 jet intercepting a NATO F-15 trying to get closer to a Tu22m3 bomber over Ukraine? No, that's not true: The footage which was widely copied to other social networks carried the watermark of a TikTok channel that publishes aviation videos. The caption under the video indicated it was created in the "War Thunder" video game.
Kremlin outlets have amplified claims tying former parliamentary speaker Andriy Parubiy to the Maidan shootings, the May 2014 Odessa fire, and an alleged coup in Kyiv. In reality, there is no evidence linking Parubiy to either the killings of protesters or the Odessa tragedy. Nor was there a coup in 2014: Ukraine's government was formed through a legitimate process that Moscow itself formally recognized at the time.
Kremlin outlets have seized on discrepancies in estimates of the number of Ukrainian children taken to Russia, touting them as supposed "proof" that the deportations are a Western invention. In reality, the varying figures reflect the inherent difficulty of gathering reliable data amid an ongoing war and under occupation. What remains undisputed, however, is the consensus among international organizations: Russia is engaged in the systematic deportation of Ukrainian children.
There is no such story on the Ukrayinska Pravda website.
