Does image show Israeli passport belonging to Zelenskyy? Here’s the truth

Claim: An image authentically shows an Israeli passport belonging to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. [...] It was not the first time the image of Zelenskyy's alleged Israeli passport spread online - it first emerged in December 2025 from a parody account on X that the platform has since suspended.

FACT CHECK: ‘Sara Sky’ tanker carrying Russian oil to PH not linked to Dutertes

Claim: Amid the Philippines' energy emergency, a shipment of Russian crude oil was sent to the country because of the Dutertes.
The facts: The Dutertes are not linked to the delivery of Russian crude oil to the Philippines. The Inquirer.net report referenced in the TikTok video never mentions the Dutertes or their alleged role in the Russia oil purchase.

Trump Links Biden’s Ukraine Aid to Pentagon’s Iran War Funding Request

With the Pentagon potentially seeking a $200 billion supplemental package to fund the ongoing war with Iran, President Donald Trump defended that figure in part by saying U.S. ammunition "was taken down by giving so much to Ukraine." He then exaggerated the amount of aid to Ukraine and falsely said that former President Joe Biden "didn't rebuild anything" in the defense stockpile. Trump has a point that the military assistance provided to Ukraine reduced the U.S. reserve of weapons. But that aid largely has not affected the military operations in Iran, defense experts told us. Furthermore, Biden signed multiple spending bills passed by Congress that included funding to replace the older weapons that the U.S. gave to Ukraine with new items. Experts also told us that Biden's administration put money into increasing the production of munitions for the military.
