Ukrainian Minister of Economic Development Yulia Svyrydenko did not make such a statement. The quote was spread only by pro-Russian outlets and social media netizens. Ukraine condemns the rocket attacks and aggression of Hamas against the population of Israel, and calls for every effort to de-escalate the conflict to seek peace and protect civilians.
Social media posts claim The Washington Post published an article suggesting Ukraine sent weapons to Hamas following the Palestinian Islamist movement's bloody October 2023 attack on Israel, which sparked a war in the region. This is false; the headline is fabricated and there is no evidence of such aid.
Rumors of Putin's death and his various health crises have circulated for years. We have frequently debunked them here at Snopes.
Ukraine is preparing for a possible return of massive missile attacks by Russia on the country's energy system. In this context, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba noted that it is important for Ukraine to receive additional air defense equipment from its allies on the eve of winter.
Is the Israeli army trying to recruit Ukrainian soldiers into its ranks? This is what some pro-Russian accounts are suggesting by sharing a video they say is an Israeli advertisement, in which a young Ukrainian soldier talks about his decision to join the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). However, the original video actually shows an Israeli soldier, and the Ukrainian voice has been added digitally.
Images have been circling social media in Africa claiming "the Ukrainian Postal Service is now issuing stamps with the face of the WW2 Wafen SS Nazi Galicia cretin Yaroslav Hunko." However, Ukraine has never published stamps with Hunko's face on them.
Fake news is flooding our social media - but you can spot it if you know what to look for.
Not sure if a headline is fake news or not? Here are three tips to check whether a story is fact or fiction.
False. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not surrender as social media posts claimed on Saturday, and the country remains at war with Russia. In a Sunday interview, Zelenskyy rejected the idea of peace negotiations and dismissed the notion that the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
In a video that's been digitally altered using artificial intelligence, social media users claim to show an advertisement from the Israel Defense Forces, starring a Ukrainian soldier who brags about the benefits of joining the Israeli army. We debunk this video in this edition of Truth of Fake.
CLAIM: A video shows Russian leader Vladimir Putin announcing Russia will send "help to Palestine" in the latest Israel-Hamas War.
AP'S ASSESSMENT: False. The video is from 2021 and shows Putin speaking at Russia's Victory Day military parade. He doesn't make any references to the Middle East conflict in the speech, but rather talks about the defeat of Nazism. Russia has so far issued carefully calibrated criticism of both sides in the Israel-Hamas war.
