Truthmeter.mk was unable to find any news related to Putin issuing a decree that would open the way for Africans to obtain Russian citizenship, employment, and military service, as the post claims. We did not find such information on the…

Fact-checking is essential, but insufficient on its own. A multi-layered approach is needed, one that combines fact-checking and media literacy with cooperation between the media, non-governmental organizations, and government institutions.…

With the advent of the Internet and social networks, the number of information attacks has increased dramatically and their impact on democratic processes has become even more devastating. Elections, as an expensive and essential component…

Western Balkan countries still lack the necessary legal, technical, and institutional safeguards to protect people's rights online. Unlike the EU, we do not benefit from the protection offered by the Digital Services Act, and yet we all…

Building bridges of cooperation. Sharing lessons from different experiences with malicious fake news. Creating strategic platforms. The necessity of strategic action. These are some of the main conclusions of the second session titled:…

The post manipulates an outdated map, one in which Russia occupies more Ukrainian territory than it actually does, while rejecting EU appeals for respect of Ukraine's territorial integrity. It justifies this dismemberment by citing the…

At no point did Zelensky yell at the US Treasury Secretary who traveled to Kyiv to present and deliver the Minerals Deal offered by the US. It is true that Zelensky rejected the deal, but he did not call it exploitative or compare it to the…

The entire post is manipulative and aims to portray Ukraine, i.e. Zelensky and the European Union, as guilty of the war. This disinformation narrative is a well-known pro-Kremlin narrative and is not new. Russia constantly twists the…

The general consensus among Russian and Ukrainian speakers is that President Zelensky did not directly insult or address JD Vance. It's not an insult, it's a sign of irritation, not towards a person, but towards a situation. A notification…

A Facebook post claims that Britain is at war with Russia, and if that were true (which it is not), we certainly wouldn't have learned about it from a Facebook user's post, but it would have been all over media outlets around the world,…

Disinformation about Kosovo from the Serbian government has become routine, with the same narratives being repeatedly recycled. Since last January, the narrative that Serbian citizens have been banished from Kosovo has returned. In the…

The fake news factories from Veles that flooded the US presidential campaign in 2016 may be long gone, but “workshops” still remain on the hunt for stories about veterans or “cards that will be worth millions tomorrow.” In the latest…

The agreement between the United States and Ukraine to share Kyiv's mineral resources, particularly rare minerals, which was officially negotiated less than a month ago, has emerged as one of the key factors determining whether peace or the…

A Facebook post falsely attributes a statement to Donald Trump Jr., a businessman and the son of the current U.S. president. The claim was investigated by the U.S. news website Mediaite, which determined it to be false. Both Trump Jr.'s…

A Facebook post lists events from Ukraine's recent history, creating the false impression that the Ukrainians were aggressive, and that Russia begged them to come to their senses, but was ultimately "forced" to take military action, thus…

Support for Ukraine is consistent with its right to self-defense. It is inaccurate to say that the EU or any European country provoked the military invasion. Russia was not attacked by anyone, rather, it was Russia that attacked Ukraine

Zelensky, the EU, and NATO did not initiate the war in Ukraine, nor are they directly responsible for the victims, despite the misleading claims in the post. Since the beginning of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin…

A Facebook post claims that NATO lost the war in Ukraine, but the alliance is not participating in it, and it’s unclear how Russia has won either. Russia doesn’t even have full control over the territories it illegally annexed, such as the…
