AI-generated Video of Ukraine’s Flag on the Statue of Liberty Circulates Online

No, this video doesn’t show Volodymyr Zelensky insulting Donald Trump
A TikTok user posted a video claiming to show Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insulting United States President Donald Trump during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on March 1. It turns out, however, that Zelensky didn't insult Trump - the video has been manipulated.
There is no evidence this video shows Zelenskyy boarding a luxury private jet
A video has surfaced on TikTok of luxury cars pulling up to a private jet with a caption suggesting that it shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy using billions to fund such a lifestyle.
The Verdict False
The video comes from the Instagram account of a private jet provider company and nothing in the original post links the jet and cars to Zelenskyy.
Fake: Ukraine Launched a Massive Bot Attack on YouTube
Wired has never published such claims, and the video itself was probably created using AI. The fake is noticeably different from the outlet's official style: it lacks the characteristic title, and the footage used is of poor quality. StopFake's journalists found no evidence of such a bot campaign; instead, they discovered that after Zelensky's meeting with Trump, Russian propaganda stepped up the spread of deepfakes, doctored screenshots, and fake videos bearing the logos of well-known media outlets to sow dissension among Ukraine's allies and demoralise Ukrainian society.

There is no proof of this. Neither Donald Trump nor anyone from his administration made such statements.
Don’t fall for doctored clip of BBC reporter making crude on-air comment about Zelenskyy WH meeting
Waterhouse did not make the off-the-cuff remark in the original footage of the broadcast, which BBC News posted to its official YouTube channel on March 1, the day it originally aired. In other words, versions of the video that included Waterhouse allegedly saying "this is the second time ever that a U.S. president f***ed someone in the Oval Office" were doctored to misrepresent reality. As a result, we've rated the claim fake.

Claim:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during their contentious February 2025 Oval Office meeting, “You're raising the volume of your voice, but not the logic of your argument."
Context
Zelenskyy said, "You think that if you will speak very loudly about the war [between Ukraine and Russia], you can ..." before Trump cut him off. We do not know what Zelenskyy was planning to say in the rest of his sentence before he was interrupted.

Did Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy buy the French bank Milleis in February 2025 using the offshore company Maltex? No, that's not true: No credible media organization reported this story, as of March 6, 2025. A viral video purporting to be a TV news report about it displayed a non-existent TV channel logo.

Fact Check: AI Video Shows Ukrainian Flag Hoisted On Statue Of Liberty Torch
Does a video authentically show climbers hoisting a Ukrainian flag on the torch of the Statue of Liberty in New York? No, that's not true: The video was created using AI, according to the caption added by the account that originally posted it.
