The mass media never declared “Ukraine is done with!”, nor should they be blamed for the war victims

Neither mass media have recognized that “Ukraine is Done With”, nor should journalists be blamed for the thousands of lives lost in Ukraine, as the post claims. The journalists did not encourage the military invasion of Ukraine, Russia did, while Ukraine responded with the support of its Western partners to defend its right to self-defense. In...
A manipulation lessens the Ukrainian death toll in the Russian aggression
The post is manipulative and presents false information with the intent to belittle the Russian aggression in Ukraine and the Ukrainian death toll. Moreover, somewhat of a comparison is made with the children killed, as an attempt to belittle the number of child victims in Ukraine, writing in disparagement that just one orphan child was killed in Mariupol. Killing...
Contrary to the disinformation that they are childless, most of the European leaders have children

A Facebook post falsely claims that the leaders of EU member states have no offspring. A Truthmeter fact-check, however, proved that most of the prime ministers and presidents of EU Member-States have children, including the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen who has seven children. The post, in fact, demonizes Western values that...
Zelensky is not implementing “extremist regime of ethnic cleansing and genocide”
Ukraine is a republic with a presidential-parliamentary system of government, which is defined within the Constitution from 1996. Just before Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow falsely accused Ukraine of genocide against Russian-speaking citizens in the Donbas region. Putin used this narrative to justify the invasion of Ukraine, but with no evidence to support such allegations. Nevertheless, there...
America is tarnished by disinformation about the wars in Ukraine and Israel cooked up in the “Russian kitchen”
Photo: Screenshot of the video in the FB post
The Ukrainian authorities denied the claim that their country was providing arms to Hamas. On Monday (09.10.2023), the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Agency posted on its official Facebook page accusations that Russia launched a disinformation campaign related to these claims. The US continues to support Ukraine in its counter-offensive, but also in...
The West did not desire war in Ukraine and Israel

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...
The video of a convoy stuck at Rafah border crossing is from May 2021

The video clip shared on this Facebook post is not from 2023, but more than two years old. As Reuters’ fact-checkers specify, the video with the Egyptian aid convoy is from May 2021, not from 2023, writes Truthmeter.mk.

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...
Russian COVID-19 vaccines are not banned in North Macedonia

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. This disinformation aimed to create mistrust in the COVID-19 vaccine produced in the EU....
There is no evidence that Ukraine gave weapons to Hamas
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. Security experts for foreign fact-checkers say that Ukraine is in an existential battle against Russia and that there is no reason...
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...
No statistics on suicide in Russian and Ukrainian prisons
Photo: A screenshot of the video
This Facebook post deliberately omits the context and creates propaganda that the Russian Army is humane with Ukrainian war prisoners. At the same time, it manipulates the calamities caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, presenting Russian prisons as humane places, although numerous reports inform about the ongoing torture, repression, beatings, inhumane treatment, and...
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...
The claim that Russia is at war with the “Anti-religious” Western civilization is a myth
Photo: part of the post with disinformation
One cannot claim – as the post does – that the anti-religious civilization, or the West, is fighting against Russia. Russia wants to impose itself as the main global defender of the traditional and religious, which could be seen from Putin’s speech, two days before the anniversary of Russian aggression. Once again, he...
