A Swiss land registry official said that documents claiming to show purchases of luxury properties by Ukrainian officials are forged. The documents contain errors, such as the wrong digit count in numbers identifying the property. A Swiss newspaper said the false claims were the work of a blogger loyal to the Kremlin. Our ruling A website claimed that three high-ranking Ukrainian officials had purchased luxury property in the resort town of Gstaad, Switzerland. A Swiss land registry official said the documents cited as evidence were forged; errors in them prove that they did not come from the registry, the official said. We rate this claim False.

A fire broke out on the roof of a Russian skyscraper, according to state news, and was extinguished with minimal damage. We found no evidence to support the suggestion that the incident is connected to the country’s invasion of Ukraine. A Polish news organization, also citing the Tass agency, said “the fire affected one square meter of space.” We didn’t see any credible reports tying the fire to a Ukrainian attack, or any attack. We rate this post False.
