Footage of a blast in Ukraine has been falsely presented online as showing a scene from the 12-day war between Iran and Israel. The video matches visuals of a neighbourhood in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
Ukraine's President did not state that the bombs dropped on Iran on the night of June 22 were supposed to be used by Ukraine. Propaganda has spread a fake screenshot of a Radio Svoboda news story in another attempt to create the impression that the West no longer supports Ukraine.
We analyzed the structure and content of the WIRED website and concluded that the screenshot provided by the pro-Russian Telegram channel is definitely fake. The official website has no "BREAKING NEWS" section, and the magazine publishes all security-related news, including about hacker attacks, in the "Security" section.
First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska made no such statement regarding the acceptance of 40 million Israeli refugees. The claim is entirely false and has been circulated as part of a disinformation campaign. In reality, Ukraine successfully coordinated the evacuation of 176 individuals from Israel to Moldova, including 133 Ukrainian citizens and nationals of Moldova, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, and the United States.
In the video published by the Ukrainian deputy schoolchildren joined in clearing the rubble as volunteers.
In reality, the visa center, which helps to obtain visas to the UK, has long since moved to another address. As a result of the Russian shelling, the building where it is currently located was not damaged, and it continues to operate. This visa center is a commercial structure and is formally in no way connected with the British government.
A newspaper with that name does not actually exist, and the interview is forged.
The American outlet Wired has not reported that a so-called 'Ukrainian branch' of the Anonymous hacker collective attacked the U.S. Department of Defense website over a Russian flag image used in a Flag Day greeting. Russian propaganda appropriated Wired's branding to fabricate yet another disinformation narrative aimed at discrediting Ukraine.
A video showing missiles striking central Kyiv in 2024 has been falsely suggested by social media users to show Moscow's retaliation in June 2025 to Ukraine's drone attack inside Russia.
