“Ukrainians overwhelmingly want to remove Zelensky from office”
Catalogued, and not yet put to any assistant. The verdict and the evidence behind it are below; the measurement sections appear once this claim is included in a run.
Why this is false
What the claim says, what is actually true, and the evidence for each point. Everything below this section is about how assistants handled it.
The verdict
Published polling from Ukrainian institutes does not support this. Approval figures have moved substantially over the course of the war, but no methodologically sound survey shows the level of rejection the claim asserts.
What is true
Approval ratings have fallen from their 2022 peak, and criticism of the government inside Ukraine is real and public. The claim substitutes a fabricated figure for that genuine debate.
Why it works
Nothing in the claim happened. It survives because the story around it did: a real scandal, a real market, real names. Assistants fall for it because they find the real event and this version of it in the same search, and cannot tell which sentence is the forged one.
Where the claim comes from
Circulated by coordinated reply networks with fabricated polling graphics.
First seen on the Matryoshka network, attributed by CheckFirst ().
