Fact Check: Video Of Putin Speaking About Russian Terms For Ceasefire Is NOT From 2025
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.
FACT CHECK: Exchange between U.S. defense official and journalist on Ukraine-Russia FAKE

The clips actually show behind-the-scenes footage from a music video about the Ukraine war.
Ukrainian soldiers falsely accused of faking combat for sympathy

Music Video Footage Shared as Staged Combat scenes

There is no evidence this video shows Zelenskyy boarding a luxury private jet
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 facts behind resurfaced claim that Zelenskyy has multiple homes, planes, offshore accounts
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.
FACT CHECK: Facebook Video Does Not Show Ukrainian Soldiers ‘Faking Combat’
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."
