A story that claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin bombed a villa in Ukraine owned by President Joe Biden is bogus. It was created by a misinformation website that regularly publishes made-up stories. We found no evidence that Biden has a villa in Ukraine.
Claims about nefarious biolabs in Ukraine — some supposedly “U.S. owned” — are also fabricated, and part of disinformation efforts by Russians.
It’s unclear what the blog is talking about in its reference to “pedophile rings,” but it claims that Putin is wiping out “child trafficking covens” in Ukraine, and we found no evidence that these exist.
As Russia continues its attack on Ukraine, misinformation continues to spread about the conflict.
"Putin bombs Biden-owned villa in Ukraine while hammering biolabs & pedophile rings," reads the headline of a recent story by Real Raw News, a website that regularly publishes made-up stories.
And this story is no different — it was fabricated.
We found no evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin bombed property owned by President Joe Biden or that the president owns any villas in Ukraine. Claims about nefarious biolabs in Ukraine — some supposedly "U.S. owned" — have permeated social media since the Russian invasion. But these claims are also bogus, and part of disinformation efforts by Russians. And the claim about "pedophile rings" is unsubstantiated.
