11 March: #UkraineFacts: How fact-checkers worldwide are working together to combat disinformation on the Ukraine conflict. Fact-checkers from around the world have debunked more than 1,200 falsehoods about the war in Ukraine since the Russian invasion about two weeks ago. Through the #UkraineFacts collaborative initiative, the fact-checkers are mapping out how misinformation is spreading in many languages and where it has been flagged as misleading.
