Ukraine Did Not Block Truth Social, Fact-Checkers Confirm
Reports claiming Ukraine banned Donald Trump's social media platform are false, as the app has never been available in the country.
- Multiple fact-checking organizations debunked claims that Ukrainian officials blocked access to Truth Social, Donald Trump's social media platform.
- Truth Social representatives confirmed the platform has never been available in Ukraine, making a ban impossible.
- A Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson stated that the country would welcome the platform if it expanded its operations to Ukraine.
- The false claim originated from social media posts, including one by conservative influencer Benny Johnson, and was amplified by Kremlin-aligned media outlets.
- Screenshots of Truth Social's error message stating the service is unavailable in Ukraine were misinterpreted as evidence of a ban, despite the platform's limited regional availability.
