The claim that Estonia is supplying contaminated meat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is unfounded. Pro-Kremlin outlets manipulated remarks from an Estonian official to suggest that unsafe products were being shipped to Ukraine.

The products meet safety standards and are deemed fit for consumption.

Was Zelenskyy’s Pennsylvania visit ‘election interference’? Why experts say no
On Sept. 22, 2024, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited a Scranton, Pennsylvania, ammunition plant to thank its workers, with Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who was a surrogate for vice president and then-Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Zelenskyy's meeting with Shapiro was not a campaign event for either the governor or Harris.
