Verdict: False.
The image has been photoshopped.

Verdict: False.
There is no evidence that this outlet reported this. There is no evidence that 70,000 Ukrainian troops died in the Kursk offensive.

The Verdict: Fake.
The headline is fabricated. The Hull Daily Mail published a different front page on March 13.

A video featuring people in military uniforms walking on a landscape with their hands in the air was recently shared on social media. Those sharing the video claimed that the Ukrainian army surrendered in the Kursk region of Russia.
However, the PTI Fact Check investigated and found that the viral video dates back to 2022 when the Ukrainian marines surrendered in Mariupol and is unrelated to the ongoing conflict in the Kursk region.

Does a viral image authentically show European leaders taking off their suit coats in support of Ukraine during a group picture? No, that's not true: The image is likely a screenshot from a video that was digitally edited, possibly using AI. Actual footage of the moment the group picture was taken did not show anyone taking off their suit and no news outlets reported about it happening at the time.

Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
Misbar's team found that the video shows Ukrainian marines surrendering in Mariupol in 2022 and is not related to the ongoing events in the Kursk region.

Did a video circulating on social media show Russian President Vladimir Putin making a public statement about Russia's terms for a ceasefire in Ukraine in March 2025? No, that's not true: The clip had been online for nine months. It showed Putin's remarks from June 2024.

A video went viral on X claiming to show Jews in Amsterdam celebrating the establishment of a new Jewish state in Ukraine.
Misbar investigated the viral claim and found it to be misleading; the video is unrelated to Ukraine and was recorded in 2016 in Alkmaar, not Amsterdam.
Through reverse image search, Misbar's team found that the video shows Maccabi supporters celebrating in Alkmaar, Netherlands. The full video could be found on a YouTube channel called "Maccabi Fanatics."

The journalist was not on Ukraine's so-called kill list or in the Myrotvorets database. His sister and local police believe that his death was unrelated to his journalistic activities. [...]
Ultra-right-wing and conspiracy-minded InfoWars journalist Jamie White was indeed murdered in Austin on the evening of March 9, on his way home from work. And in June 2024, he claimed on his X account that he had been added to a "list of enemies of Ukraine" but he provided no links or evidence that this list existed. Russian propagandists assumed he was referring to Myrotvorets, but White's name does not appear in that database. Moreover, Myrotvorets is not funded by the U.S. State Department or USAID and is not a "kill list." It catalogs individuals deemed a threat to Ukraine's national security and operates through crowdfunding. Moreover, the screenshot White posted of the alleged "list" does not match the actual appearance of the Myrotvorets website. There is no evidence that Jamie White was on any "list of enemies of Ukraine" - and it is doubtful that such a list even exists.

The Verdict: Misleading.
According to reports, the video actually shows Ukrainian servicemen surrendering in Mariupol in 2022.
