A post manipulates by saying that the Ukrainian Church is not Orthodox and that the peace depends on that
A high 72 percent of the Ukrainians declare themselves Orthodox Christians. Therefore, Orthodox Christianity is predominant in Ukraine and it is not logical to bring something back when it is already there. In addition, the post manipulates by claiming that peace in Ukraine depends on religion, although religion is a stumbling block when it comes to Russia. The resolution...
Manipulative Facebook post justifying Russian invasion in Ukraine at all costs
The entire post is loaded with Russian narratives and manipulations aiming to spread propaganda and justify the Russian military aggression in Ukraine. Ukrainians are not brainwashed, as the post claims, and they are trying to defend their country from Russia. Russia is the one that initiated the war, while the Western countries are just helping Ukraine to protect itself...
Theft of up to 1,000 dollars is not nonpunishable in the USA
Proposition 47 adopted in 2014 in California, which is not applicable in all states of the US, reclassifies felony theft like shoplifting under 1,000 dollars, from an offense into a misdemeanor. That does not mean that one is not held responsible for such a theft. For this kind of offense, thieves can be given a fine of up to...
Petrovska never stated that she declares war on Russia
Had Petrovska ever said such a thing, all of the media would have reported it, both the national and the international media. But such a thing cannot be found in the online space, neither in writing nor in audio form. Indeed, had Petrovska stated such a thing, an appropriate response would have followed from the side that, was declared...

A six-year-old video was misused for spreading lies that French President Emmanuel Macron is publicly displaying a masonic symbol. The video was recorded on 16th May 2017, when Macron received the members of the International Olympic Committee visiting Paris – then a candidate for hosting the Olympic Games 2024. The sign made by Macron has...
Nuland attacked with fabricated and insulting statement allegedly by Niger military junta
The alleged cynical statement about Ambassador Victoria Nuland shared in this Facebook post is fabricated. No official, established, relevant and credible medium has transmitted such a statement from the so-called Niger “revolutionary government” – that they did not want US money and even that they allegedly recommended the funds to be used for a “weight-loss program for Victoria Nuland”....

Reuters’s fact-checkers inform that until 2nd August – and according to our checks, also on 3rd August, when this fact-check has been written – there is no official information verified by the authorities of Niger, nor by those who carried out the coup on the President of Niger, about the alleged termination of uranium and gold exports to...
It is not true that the West is plundering Ukraine’s historic heritage
There is no evidence in support of the claim about plundering and “kidnapping” Ukrainian cultural treasures. Such claims from the post were refuted by the Ukrainian authorities. The Ministry of Culture and Information Technologies of Ukraine stated that the claim about kidnapping Ukrainian sacred relics is fabricated. The post states that the relics from the Kyiv church compound will...
Zelenskyy – Kremlin’s Most Important Disinformation Target
Never before has Kremlin’s propaganda machinery been concentrated on disseminating so many disinformation pieces about one person as is currently doing with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The constant inflow of lies about the Ukrainian President, spread on daily basis, shows that he is a thorn in the eye of Moscow’s regime and the main hurdle for the failure of the “three-day...
NATO Summit, Cluster Bombs, Prigozhin and Poland – Focus on Disinfo-narratives in July
In July, in the Macedonian language media one could have read a few types of Russian narratives related to the state of affairs in Ukraine.

Imported ideological conflicts are intensified by the flood of disinformation
“Culture wars” or ideological conflicts between the left and the right-wing became a dominant topic in US political discourse. Both sides are trying to present their truth and viewpoint as the only right option, while “they, the others” are the strike of evil wanting to destroy humankind. These imported culture wars, with all of their intolerance for the opponent...
SEC: Investing in “Solargroup” Has No Legal Protection
Considering the information received by the Securities and Exchange Commission as the regulator of the securities market in the country, especially due to the fact that those promoting the investment are not licensed brokers/investment advisers, including the fact that the promotion of the offer does not reveal an authorized legal person (brokerage house, authorized bank or an entity managing...

Drawing a parallel between Zelenskyy and Hitler is a classical manipulation in the spirit of Russian propaganda. All this is done to justify the Russian aggression of sovereign Ukraine which is ongoing for more than a year. Zelensky is Jewish – his grandfather and his three brothers were fighting against the Nazis. As a reminder, Ukraine banned the...

Dutch farmers organized massive protests last year, but not this year.

Dutch farmers do not protest because the Government wants to dislocate them...
False claim that the film “Barbie” is banned in Serbia, accompanied by an altered photograph

Nowhere can one find information that the film “Barbie” is banned in Serbia. A map of Great Albania does not appear in the film at all, neither is there a map without North Macedonia – as suggested by the post as the reason for banning the movie in North Macedonia. The scene with Barbie standing in front of...

The post carries a false statement by Peskov disinforming that some kind of unification will happen between Russia and Belarus. Our check showed that neither Peskov made a statement claiming that Putin’s address from 26th June will determine the fate of Russia, nor did Putin announce any kind of unification with Belarus in his address. In his speech...
Bogus statements on elections attributed to Zelenskyy
Contrary to the statement in the post we are fact-checking, Zelenskyy did not say that elections in Ukraine will not take place until some kind of a great reset of the world takes place.

The claim that USA is involved in deliberate spreading of the bird flu is Russian disinformation narrative
Transmission electron micrograph of influenza A virus, late passage…CDC/Dr. Erskine Palmer, 1981
By carefully looking at everything that was published on this topic up to date, one can clearly see that claiming that the Pentagon was deliberately infecting birds in the current war in Ukraine is just part of the Russian disinformation narrative spread for the purpose of justifying its...
