Did a real report from Euronews state that Volodymyr Zelenskyy's parents were detained for laundering $11 million? No, that's not true: At the time of writing, Euronews had not published a story matching the claim. A Ukrainian governmental body dedicated to stopping the spread of disinformation has said the claim is false.
Finland's Foreign Minister made no such statement and did not call for the war in Ukraine to "continue." On the contrary, Elina Valtonen stressed that allies should maintain pressure on Russia and must not abandon the fight to defend Ukraine's freedom.
The claim of a broken NATO promise does not stand up to scrutiny. NATO never adopted any policy promising not to expand, and it could not have done so without formal consensus among its members - a fact of which the Soviets were fully aware.
No treaty or official commitment exists, and it is not even clear that such assurances were ever made or discussed. The Soviet leader himself later stated that all agreed terms were fully honored by NATO.
Fake: 'Ukrainians Commit One Third of All Sexual Crimes Against Women in Europe and the UK - Eurostat.' Eurostat or any other credible source published no such data. Propagandists fabricated the video, and the figures it contains are made up.
The claim does not appear on any of USA Today's official platforms, and Parker Hempel, the ISW analyst cited in the video, has no record of making the statements attributed to him. Iran's missile arsenal draws exclusively from Soviet and North Korean design lineages, and U.S.-manufactured systems are mechanically incompatible with Iranian launch infrastructure. The video is the latest iteration of a recurring disinformation narrative - the so-called "NATO weapons black market" - a claim that has been repeatedly investigated and never substantiated.
The image is edited. It repurposes a photo of a Ukrainian drone previously reported as captured by Russian forces, with a Mexican police emblem digitally added to create the false impression of a cartel seizure.
Information is circulating online claiming that generators provided by Polish volunteers are being sold on websites such as OLX. A video with screenshots of such listings is allegedly proof of this. This is fake. The frame showing a generator with a sticker about aid from Poland was taken from a volunteer's video report; it was not put up for sale. The video combined ordinary commercial listings with volunteer footage to create the illusion that aid was being resold.
The quote that circulated online was correctly attributed to Hill. At the time of this writing, Snopes could not independently verify whether the U.S. had carried out the swap Hill said Russia wanted in 2019 or whether such a deal made the Trump administration's January 2026 capture of Maduro possible.
Multiple social media users shared a video featuring fire at a structure, apparently set by a drone, claiming that Ukraine attacked Putin's residence with drones. However, the Desk concluded that the video actually dates back to 2023 and is not related to any attack on Putin's residence.
We could not independently verify other details about the footage. However, it dates back to May 2023, and hence unlinked to the recent Russian allegations on Ukraine.
