Fake: Zelensky Said He “No Longer Feels Welcome in the U.S.” After Meeting With Trump

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.

A 2021 video shows Putin celebrating a WWII anniversary, not promising to aid Palestinians | AP News

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.

Resource: “Vatnik Soup” – a guide to pro-Russian propagandists

A project by Finnish academic Pekka Kallioniemi:

"#vatniksoup is a Twitter thread series (and a hashtag!) where I’ll introduce pro-Russian actors and propagandists from around the world, be they so-called “independent journalists”, politicians, military personnel or just regular grifters looking to get some easy money.

The series also has introductions and deeper insights on how online propaganda and disinformation works and is spread. For example, I’ll talk about troll farms, social media manipulation and Russia’s online information operations."
