Russian propaganda is spreading yet another fake about the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Propagandists are trying to accuse Ukrainian troops of using toxic substances against civilians in Pokrovsk. The spread of this fake was recorded by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

The CCD reports that a so-called “military expert”, Andriy Marochko, claimed that Ukrainian drones allegedly “sprayed a substance used to control rodents”, which, according to him, caused civilian deaths. However, this statement is a complete fabrication and yet another attempt to discredit the Ukrainian military.

A fake is being circulated on social media claiming that the Nobel Committee has allegedly permanently disqualified Donald Trump from all future awards because of his decision to rename the U.S. Department of Defense as the “Department of War”. The claim was debunked by Indian fact-checkers from the DigitEye India project.

Posts containing this claim are accompanied by an image resembling a press release from the Associated Press, dated 25 September 2025. The fake “document” states that the Nobel Committee in Stockholm allegedly described Trump’s actions as a “serious violation of historical dignity and semantic etiquette”. In reality, no official announcement of this kind was made by either the Nobel Committee or the Associated Press.

DigitEye India’s verification showed that the image is fabricated. It contains fictitious contact details, including the name “Hanz Zeemer” and the domain “swisstimes.org”, which have no connection to the Nobel Committee or the Associated Press. In addition, the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony takes place in Oslo, not Stockholm, as stated in the fake “press release”.

There are also no mentions of Donald Trump’s disqualification on the official Nobel Prize website, where all press releases and announcements are published openly. The Committee also reminds that the nomination process is entirely confidential and is not disclosed for at least 50 years after submission.

Moreover, the author of the original post on the social network X admitted that the message was a joke, but it quickly began circulating as “breaking news”.

Therefore, the information about Donald Trump being disqualified from future Nobel Prizes is completely fabricated.

Russian propaganda is spreading false information about an alleged statement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney regarding the deportation of Ukrainian refugees who are supposedly evading mobilization. A video of the politician’s speech is actively circulating on social media with a fabricated Russian-language translation added. In the clip, Carney allegedly says that Canada will “deport all Ukrainians who should be at the front” and replace them with “cheaper and more hard-working Indians”. In reality, this is a manipulation – the prime minister made no such statements. The fake was debunked by StopFake fact-checkers.

In fact, the video is an edited fabrication. The footage was taken from Mark Carney’s speech at an off-site meeting of the Liberal Party of Canada held on 10 September 2025 in Edmonton. In the version with the fake translation, the beginning of his speech can indeed be heard, where he says in English: “This won’t always be easy”. This phrase helped fact-checkers locate the original recording published by CBC News.

The video shows that the prime minister’s intonation, gestures, and direction of gaze match the moment in the real speech. However, the subsequent words attributed to him have nothing to do with what propagandist sources are spreading. In reality, Mark Carney was speaking about challenges related to changes in the global economy and the new trade policy of the United States.

“We must continue to be honest with Canadians: this won’t always be easy. The United States is fundamentally transforming all of its trade relationships, not only with Canada. The consequences are profound – jobs are being cut, supply chains are being disrupted, and uncertainty is increasing, which restrains investment and raises unemployment,” the Canadian prime minister said in his actual speech.

Nowhere in his nearly 25-minute address is there any mention of deporting Ukrainians or similar claims. Therefore, the circulating video is a deliberate forgery created to discredit Ukrainian refugees and incite hostility.
