DISINFO: JD Vance suggested that Ukrainian protesters opposing the peace deal join the Ukrainian army
SUMMARY
US Vice President JD Vance approached protesting Ukrainians who opposed the signing of a peace agreement and offered them to join the Ukrainian army. NO ONE AGREED to leave safe America and go to fight in Ukraine.
RESPONSE
A disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets not backed up by evidence designed to discredit Ukraine.
The claim is false. No information about such a meeting of US Vice President Vance with protestors is available in credible sources. Recently, several US cities hosted rallies in support of Ukraine. A major demonstration took place on February 22, organised by the Ukrainian Embassy in cooperation with other organizations. Another protest followed on March 1. There is no confirmed information that Vance attended any protest or engaged with Ukraine supporters or the Ukrainian diaspora.
Moreover, the photo accompanying the disinformation claim, which gives the impression of showing the US Vice President speaking at a protest, has been generated using artificial intelligence and does not reflect reality. Read the full debunk at Myth Detector.
