A post on the social network Threads, with no evidence, accuses NATO of aggression against the Kursk Region of Russia and compares it to Napoleon and Hitler, when in fact, it was the military of Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, that…

The USA did not stage a coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014 and is not to blame for the depopulation of Ukraine, as the post we are analyzing wants to portray. It is true that Ukraine has had the highest death rate and the lowest birth rate in…

The reviewed post is missing context. An old speech delivered by Putin in 2022, with different content referring to Crimea, is put into current context as if it refers to the consequences that would arise from a possible permission for…

Manipulative Facebook posts display historical maps showing the territory of present-day Ukraine under the rule of its neighbors, suggesting it is an artificial creation composed of foreign lands. At the same time, the narrative that…

A Facebook post cites a statement by Ukraine’s ex-foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, backing it up with a dubious Greek media outlet, which refers to a Twitter user’s post, whose relevance and credibility are hugely questionable. Kuleba’s…

The post attempts to portray the CIA and the US as having power to install and change governments, both in Macedonia and in Ukraine. The USA is also accused of having succeeded in creating the pre-election rhetoric of the winners. This is a…

The post abounds in insults and antagonistic narrative against the West and Ukraine and its political leadership. The Ukrainian government is not fascist, nor dictatorial, or in any way connected to the Nazi past. President Volodymyr…

The video shared by the post is from an anti-war protest that took place in Warsaw, where fake black body bags were used as part of a performance. The video does not show corpses of Polish soldiers brought back from the military front in…

Ukrainian forces have invaded Russia’s Kursk region, and a Facebook post makes false claims that they are Western cannon fodder that aims to usurp Russia’s natural resources. However, the fact that Russia committed aggression against…

Russian propaganda tried to portray the fact that the Ukrainian government banned the Moscow-affiliated Orthodox Church as a “persecution of Christians” and as a tendency of the West, which supports Ukraine, to destroy Orthodoxy and the…

Taken and translated from the Serbian version of Sputnik, the Facebook post twists the truth and spreads several pieces of disinformation. To begin with, it quotes a former Japanese diplomat, whose views by no means reflect the official…

The post, published without any facts or evidence, all while using photographs from abroad, wants to stir emotions and cause revolt, making illfounded comparisons. Fires have happened in Macedonia before and they will happen in the future.…

Neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian side has indicated that the Children’s Hospital in Kyiv was used as a location for NATO’s General Staff, as claimed by the post. The biggest military organization, NATO, is not involved in the war in…
