It is Not True That CNN Reduced the Media Coverage of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
CNN follows the Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine with direct presence of its own teams and informs from the field about the situation in Ukraine every day. That did not change even after the new conflict shook the world. Truthmeter analyzed CNN’s coverage from 10-17 October (a week before the Facebook post) and found 6,501 media contents on Ukraine in...

Western countries did not vote against the “resolution for stopping military actions and attacks between Israel and Palestine”, as the post claims, they just did not support Russia’s resolution to condemn violence and terrorism of civilians, because it did not mention HAMAS attacks and killings of 1,400 civilians in Israel. The post does not want to see the...
A Video Does Not Show Egyptians Carrying Food and Water on their Backs for the Palestinians in Gaza
The video is not related to the current situation between HAMAS and Israel. Foreign fact-checkers claim that the video is older and does not relate to a humanitarian response to the blockade imposed by Israel from October 2023. For the first time this video was published on the social network TikTok on 31st August 2023. The original title, as...
Provocative Poster with Iranian Hypersonic Missile in Tehran Is Not Recent – It Dates Back to June
The photograph of a large poster in Tehran showcasing an Iranian hypersonic missile was not taken recently. Although the accompanying post claims the photograph shows a recent even in Iran’s capital, the photograph’s origins can be traced to June of this year, several months before the attack Hamas’s attack on Israel, writes Thuthmeter.

UN Charter Does Not Give Russia the Right to Attack Ukraine
Articles 106 and 107 of the UN Charter do not give Russia the right to attack Ukraine, or any of the other countries listed on the post, for its “attempts to revive Nazism”, as the post claims. Article 107 is no longer relevant since enemy states no longer exist as they used to be defined by the UN, and every...

Black Flag Erected on a Mosque Is Not a Call for War and Revenge
The black flag holds a special place in Islamic history and tradition. Unlike the incorrectly presented claims on social media, the black flag is not a call to arms, conflict or revenge.

Biden’s Administration is not providing military aid to Hamas
The USA and Biden’s administration are not financing Hamas. The USA is sending humanitarian assistance for the civilians in Gaza, but it does not go to the terrorist organization that has several financiers, out of which the main is Iran. The USA declared Hamas a terrorist organization and prosecutes all of its citizens or permanent residents who finance this...
Manipulation: NATO Does Not Evacuate Civilians from Israel
NATO is not involved in the evacuation of citizens of three member states, including citizens of North Macedonia. That obligation was taken over by each of the governments separately. The “Air Serbia” flight evacuating Macedonian citizens from Israel was paid from the Budget of North Macedonia, and many officers from the Macedonian diplomatic-consular representations in Tel Aviv were involved...
Practicing Christianity is allowed in Israel

The post omits the context because it does not state that this draft law has not been adopted and does not constitute a legal act in the state of Israel. Failure to provide this information creates a completely different outlook that all who claim that Jesus Christ is God will go to...

The Sputnik vaccines are not banned in North Macedonia and they are still available for those who want to be vaccinated for the first time. In addition, the pineal gland, or the epiphysis cerebri, can in no way be affected by a COVID-19 vaccination.

Photo: A screenshot from the video
Citing an official announcement of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Ukrainska Pravda writes that Russia was preparing to discredit Ukraine, aiming to influence the allies’ attitude and impact the supply of Western weapons.

Manipulation of the address of the Dutch Minister of Defense on the Security Forum in Warsaw
Photo: A screenshot from the video
Opposed to the claims made in the post, once the original statement of the Dutch Defense Minister, Kajsa Ollongren, given at the Security Forum in Warsaw, it becomes quite clear that war was not encouraged, but the support for Ukraine was continued since Ukraine was facing the territorial claims of Russia and Putin’s regime....
Even the storm in New York drawn in the QAnon-conspiracy theories’ raffle
The violent storm that hit and flooded New York last Friday did not happen because Trump supporters allegedly turned on the HAARP to rescue children trapped and abused in tunnels, as claimed in this post, but because of the impact of climate change. Kidnapping, holding, and consuming children in New York tunnels, including their rescue by Trump, is a...
Propaganda video to smear Biden and glorify Putin
The two contexts of Biden and Putin’s meetings with children are different. In Putin’s case, one can see that the interview and meeting were previously organized since the cameras on the video are already positioned and he is acting in accordance with the set situation. Biden’s video, on the other hand, is spontaneous, made with a mobile telephone and...
It is not true that all Ukrainian women from 18 to 60 years of age will be mobilized in the war
Photo: president.gov.ua
The post is sharing untrue information that Ukrainian women will be mobilized in the Army. It refers to a recent legal provision that mandates women with medical or pharmaceutical backgrounds to register for military service starting from 1st October, but unlike men aged 18 – 60, unless they are mobilized, they would not be restricted from leaving Ukraine....
No Bundeswehr troops in Ukraine, nor German tank crews
Photo: Screenshot of part of the post
On Sunday, the 24th of September, the German Ministry of Defense denied the information published by Russian state media that, allegedly, a German Leopard tank was destroyed along with the Bundeswehr crew in the military zone in Ukraine. Apart from that, it is general knowledge that Western countries are careful about sending their...
Increased tension between Moscow and the West regarding Ukraine
Last month, the tension between the West and Moscow increased, as well as the tensions between individual Western countries and Russia bilaterally – with frequent use of several classical disinformation narratives by Russia such as: the West is fighting against Russia until the last Ukrainian standing, the West is the bad guy, while Russia is defending itself from NATO...
The video with the “Glory to Urine” “gaffe” is fake
Photo: Screenshot made by fact-checkers
The viral video with the alleged error on the billboard аmidst Times Square in New York with the inscription “Glory to Urine” instead of “Glory to Ukraine” is a complete lie and disinformation released to tarnish the reputation of Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as the host country. Unfortunately, many Macedonian language media...
