This is a thread about fact checking. It's a list. Nothing more. Some of the tweets you see are so bonkers it's hard to understand them, let alone argue them. But do bonk with confidence and these sites will help, but use more than one as some of these sites also have some bias.

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #GBNews

Interesting fact for you. During the CAS court hearing, IOC lawyers used the fact that I was awarded a state decoration (which took place after my disqualification) as evidence that my helmet had a political character. At the same time, they did not explain in any way how exactly this was connected. In the photo, you can see Russian Paralympian receiving awards from Putin. But this time, neither the IOC nor the International Paralympic Committee has any questions or comments. It seems to me that these organizations would be much better suited to the name “International Committee of Double Standards.”

Oleshky is no longer just occupation. It’s a slow genocide by hunger and indifference. Today in the city there lie unburied bodies. A child after an explosion — torn apart, and dogs are already eating her. Nearby — two adults, also dead, and no one can take them away. People are collapsing from exhaustion in hospitals, children are fainting from hunger. Food supplies ran out back in February. No gas, no electricity, no water, no medicine. Anyone who tries to break through with food — gets killed. This is not “the difficulties of war”. This is a deliberate blockade of civilians. Where is your reaction? Where is the green corridor under international control? Where is even any pressure on russia? This photo is the reality of Oleshky right now. But people there are dying every day.

🚨 Oleshky IS DYING OF HUNGER RIGHT NOW — 2026, EUROPE! The city is in complete blockade. Since mid-February, almost no food has been brought in! — The reserves ran out long ago. Real hunger is beginning. The occupiers do nothing, they block all roads with mines, barbed wire, and checkpoints. At the main exit toward Holaya Prystan, they turn people back with the words “let them die there.” The latest attempts to break through with food ended in the deaths of the drivers. Prices are insane. There is no electricity, no gas, no clean water, no heating, no medicines. The hospital is not working. People are already catching pheasants in cage traps just to have some kind of meat. And from hunger, dogs have started eating cats. This is not horror stories — this is what the residents themselves are saying. The Red Cross, the UN, and all international organizations are silent and doing nothing. The russian authorities in Oleshky completely ignore the situation. The Ukrainian authorities also cannot help in any way! Without worldwide noise, nothing will change. This is not Africa. This is the left bank of the Kherson region. In 2026. In Europe. People are dying of hunger while everyone keeps scrolling the feed. Make a repost right now.

Reading the news about the teenagers from Melitopol, I cannot shake the feeling that this isn't a "trial", but a demonstrative punishment of children. Three boys were sentenced to between 7 and 8.5 years in a penal colony. Two others did not live to see their verdict; they were tortured to death in a Russian prison. When looking at the bigger picture, it becomes clear that this is not an isolated incident, but the result of a deliberate policy. Russia has systematically built a mechanism for dealing with Ukrainian children under occupation. It begins in schools and through "prevention" programs. For instance, the occupiers developed a manual specifically instructing "educators" on how to identify so-called "disloyal" youth. Children are effectively categorized, and any pro-Ukrainian stance is automatically labeled as "extremism." The next step was changing the legislation to allow criminal prosecution from the age of 14 — specifically under these "extremist" statutes. And here is the result of that system. Ukrainian teenagers who ended up under Russian occupation and were not rescued in time have received actual prison sentences. These are more lives effectively shattered. In reality, children in the temporarily occupied territories are left with only two scenarios: either you are militarized and sent to fight against your own country, or, if you disagree, you are thrown into prison. I want us all to realize this clearly: this is not about fighting terrorism. This is about the systematic breaking of an entire generation — a generation that should be living, developing, and building Ukraine. Instead, these children are abducted, isolated, tortured, and deprived of basic rights, with all of it "legalized" through court verdicts. Most cynically, they are tried as Russian citizens to erase the very fact of the war crime. As someone who has worked in child protection for over 20 years, I see several clear truths here: 🔹First: This is a direct attack on Ukrainian identity through its children. 🔹Second: It is a tool of intimidation intended to silence others. 🔹Third: This is a war crime with specific perpetrators and no statute of limitations. That is why silence is dangerous. Every such verdict is a signal: if the world does not react, this will happen again and again. We must speak about these children, tell their stories, and pressure international institutions. We must demand their inclusion in exchange lists and ensure accountability for those responsible. Otherwise, other Ukrainian children will be in their place tomorrow. And then, it won't just be about individual tragedies — it will be about the loss of an entire country’s future.

🔴 BREAKING: Oleshki besieged An exclusive report on the Russian war crimes in the occupied territories of the Kherson region. Ukrainian civilians starved and hunted by Russian drones. Roads mined. A series of reports is forthcoming euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/16/min…

The "Narva People's Republic" now has a flag, a coat of arms, and a Telegram network. Ukraine saw this playbook in 2014 – now it's appearing in a NATO member state. The same "People's Republic" branding that preceded Russia's Donbas occupation is targeting Estonia's border region. euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/17/nar…

Link is here. These are high-level insiders who understand the systems, how they work & why they've felt impelled to speak out. They say the government's responses about Palantir not owning the data is entirely beside the point. thenerve.news/p/palantir-tec…

A Russian Paralympian wins gold and openly dedicates the medal to Putin, speaking about the importance of “glorifying his country.” So praising a dictator and a man responsible for thousands of deaths on the Paralympic stage is somehow apolitical. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Paralympians were told they could not wear uniforms with the map of Ukraine because it would be “too political.”

@Earcom2 @Der_Daunt @MauroVargiolu @MissionArtist What happened to @missionartist?

@Der_Daunt @MauroVargiolu @MissionArtist Something happened because I dropped 25 follows overnight and pretty much all my followers are genuine so therefore it’s not bot related

WTF??? What happened to @MissionArtist???

Good morning! Xitter is still weird for me, I can't follow anyone, at all, 48h now. Just wanted to remind you, that this one is waiting in transit to find his new home and family. Did you get your ticket?

@YourAnonCentral He's going to help and then when he asks for help they'll refuse. You can just see it happening.

Israel, which previously denied Ukraine help, is now likely seeking Ukraine's help too. Zelenskyy: "We're consulting with all the Middle East leaders .. Qatar, Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan. I think today I'll also speak with... I can’t say with whom? Why not?" Staff: "They asked not to say."

The reason we gotta spend $4 million per Patriot missile to shoot down a silly $20,000 Shahed drone is because Donald Trump refused to give Ukraine the Tomahawks necessary to take out the Shahed factories in Russia

Маю за честь служити народу України і дякую Полонській міській територіальній громаді за відзнаку. В Святвечір особливо теплим відчувається перебування в рідному місті 🇺🇦

@MiddleEastTakes Is he being paid to say this? No? Any skills at analysis have long rusted for him as he says what he's paid to say.

This is just cope.

@darrengrimes Well....

‘Aye welcome refugees’, says the SNP. This foreigner nearly accessed a school with knives.

🙍‍♂️🇷🇺 Sixty Russian agents identified: discover their profiles (#2).

The US State Dept hosted British Far Right figure Tommy Robinson this week. Even I’m shocked. An ally together with which we have supported democracy for the last 80 years is now succouring pro-Putin political extremism in Europe. It’s hard to believe but sadly our new reality.
