No, Putin didn’t free 35,000 children from Ukraine

This unfounded claim originated on a website known for publishing misinformation. Putin has freed 35,000 children in Ukraine, a country he's invaded, or anywhere else. There are no credible sources nor news reports to support this. Searching for evidence that Putin saved thousands of children, we only found articles reporting that Russian police jailed several children for leaving flowers at Ukraine's embassy in Moscow. We rate this post Pants on Fire!
