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...

The video presented – as foreign fact-checkers found out – is not new, and was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the moment, the building looks different from what we see in the video material, and the traffic lights on the street were changed and are now yellow, writes Truthmeter.mk.

The coronavirus is not a hoax; Russia is the one that started the war
This post shares two pieces of disinformation at the same time. The first one is that the coronavirus is a hoax, and the second one is that someone is waging war on Russia. The coronavirus, however, is not a fabrication, and it is Russia that started the war in an independent and sovereign country, writes Truthmeter.mk.

Facebook bans nazi and antisemitic sontents
Not only Facebook doesn’t say that “Hitler was a good man, a democrat fighting for rights”, as the post claims, but it also sanctions such narratives and fabrications. Regarding the malicious statement that ”it is not by accident” that ”Zelenskyy was tuned to perform at his best”, Facebook has nothing to do with creating or sharing content by users...
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. It is also not true that he admitted in a statement for BBC that his five-year term, which should end in 2024, will continue indefinitely,...

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...
Manipulative post twists the truth – Ukraine is defending itself from Russia, not fighting at the “whim of London”
The post claiming that Ukraine is at war with Russia because of the whim of London and that Orban is Ukraine’s greatest friend because only he insisted on negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow for stopping the war is untrue and manipulative on several grounds, writes Truthmeter.mk.

Back in December 2021, Western leaders called upon Russia to calm the tensions and promised to support Ukraine in case of any kind of threat from Moscow. On 24 February 2022, Russia – not the Western elites – performed complete military invasion in Ukraine and started a war of terrifying consequences for the...

During the night of 06.06.2023, a large part of the enormous Dnipro dam in the vicinity of Nova Kakhovka in South Ukraine was blown up. Subsequently, the war in Ukraine acquired a completely new form that included ecocide – environmental disaster – and both sides, Russia and Ukraine, claim that the...
The video with Senator Graham saying “The Russians are dying” is fabricated
Photo: Screenshot from the video
It is not true that Graham said “The Russian are dying. It’s the best money we have ever spent”, while the clip claiming such a thing has been wrongfully edited. A longer version of the conversation, published by the Ukrainian Government, followed by Reuters, inter alia, shows that both segments – put within the framework...

It is not true that the Ukrainian Government is threatening to start with terrorist attacks throughout Europe
Photo: Screenshot from the video
In the clip from the video, which is incorrectly interpreted in the post, Podolyak is talking about a hypothetical situation if EU would stop helping Ukraine and he is explaining what would happen in Europe should the assistance in weapons cease. He, however, is not saying that Ukraine will undertake terrorist attacks in Europe, but...
Bakhmut is a Ukrainian city; Russia attacked it, didn’t liberate it
Photo: Screenshot from the video
Bakhmut is an Ukrainain city and it cannot be liberated from the Russians as claimed by the post. Russia attacked Bakhmut and destroyed it completely. The fact that Russia claims that this city is Russian is far from reality. According to Kyiv, parts of Bakhmut are still under the control of Ukraine, writes Truthmeter.mk.

It is not true that “radioactive cloud” is moving towards Western Europe
There is no radioactive cloud moving towards Western Europe and it is not true that increased level of radiation was identified in Poland. In Khmelnytskyi the level of radiation is within permissible limits. It was measured and published by the local authorities. This disinformation has already been debunked by foreign fact-checkers, writes Truthmeter.mk.

History doesn’t repeat itself in this case, as Zelenskyy is not Hitler
It is not the first time to see narratives on social networks about Ukraine being fascist and Nazi country, that Nazism (Neo-Nazism) is being glorified there and that Zelenskyy himself is a Nazi. All this is done to justify the Russian aggression on a sovereign country going on for more than a year, writes Truthmeter.mk.
