Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky says Vladimir Putin has broken 25 peace agreements in the past decade
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.
WHAT WAS CLAIMED: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a journalist had an exchange about the impending peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
OUR VERDICT: Fake: No such exchange on diplomacy and Russia's concessions took place between Hegseth and a reporter in a press briefing after a NATO defense ministers' meeting on Feb. 13.
What was claimed:
Clips show Ukrainian soldiers faking combat to appear "war torn" in order to receive US funds.
Our verdict:
The clips actually show behind-the-scenes footage from a music video about the Ukraine war.
WHAT WAS CLAIMED: A video shows people being made up to look like war-torn Ukrainian soldiers to get more US funding.
OUR VERDICT: False. The clip shows behind-the-scenes footage from the making of a music video.
Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
Misbar's team found that the video shows behind-the-scenes moments from the production of a music video. As stated by the original publisher, this refers to the making of a music video called "Brothers."
A video, claiming to show an Ukrainian female soldier applying make-up in a war zone with allegations that Ukraine is staging fake combat scenarios to gain financial aid from the United States, is widely circulating on social media.
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FABRICATED.
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.
The claim, shared across Facebook (archived), Instagram (archived) and X (archived) in the form of an image, read:
The President of Ukraine owns a 35 million dollar home in Florida and has $1.2 billion in a overseas bank account. Zelensky owns 15 homes, 3 private planes, and has a monthly income of 11 million dollars. Why is no one questioning where our AID is going?
However, there was no proof of any of the claims shared within the image.
Verdict: False.
The video shows a behind-the-scenes look at a music video for a song called "Brothers" by Misha Scorpion and Vitsik, not Ukrainian soldiers "faking combat."
