The Ruling: False.
Volodymyr Zelensky has not bought a $48.9 million yacht, as confirmed by the broker handling its sale.
There is no evidence a similar purchase has been made elsewhere. Funding to Ukraine is heavily audited and itemized, making it very difficult, if not impossible, for Zelensky to make such a purchase using U.S. contributions.
Propagandists have significantly distorted the article in The Telegraph. On the contrary, the author believes that such statements lack logic. The Telegraph article states that for a successful advance, the Ukrainian military needs not only Western tanks, but also complete air dominance, the latest military technology, and complete freedom of action, including in enemy territory. The author of The Telegraph calls on the West not to reduce the intensity of military assistance to Ukraine, and moreover, to provide Ukraine with the necessary amount of modern precision strike weapons (ATACMS, F-16 fighters, the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Munition (JASSM), etc.).
New York City billboard ad showing 'Stand with Israel' replacing Ukraine is fake
A video claiming to show a pro-Israel ad replaced a pro-Ukraine ad on a New York City digital billboard is fabricated and didn't appear there, the company that owns the billboard said.
The owner of the billboard, Clear Channel Outdoors, told Reuters that the ad in the video is fake.
A video spread across social media purports to show an animated digital billboard in New York City with the slogan "Stand With Israel" pushing aside the words "Stand With Ukraine" in November 2023. But the clip is doctored, the latest in a wave of disinformation about the conflicts involving the two countries; the company that owns the sign said it has run no such message, and images AFP and others captured of the display show an advertisement for a movie.
During a Nov. 5, 2023, interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" program, Zelenskyy did say: "If you can't give us some financial support [...] give us a credit, and we will give you back money after the war." However, he did not ask for a loan, which is different from asking for a line of credit.
Social media posts claim The Washington Post published an article suggesting Ukraine sent weapons to Hamas following the Palestinian Islamist movement's bloody October 2023 attack on Israel, which sparked a war in the region. This is false; the headline is fabricated and there is no evidence of such aid.
Verdict: True
Putin is using attack drones from Iran. While it has not been definitively proven that North Korea is supplying ammunition to Russia, experts and media outlets have said it is likely happening.
Putin does not mention Israel or Palestine, but rather, discusses the threat of nuclear war in relation to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine
The video, which has USA Today's logo and style, has been shared across multiple social media platforms.
