Leavitt made the remark during a briefing on the U.S.-led Operation Epic Fury against Iran, blaming Biden's aid for straining munitions stockpiles while insisting the U.S. has ample reserves. Ukrainians like Kate Bohuslavska from Kharkiv called it heartless amid shortages of air defense missiles, and politician Inna Sovsun pointed to Ukraine's 1994 surrender of nuclear warheads for broken security promises. Critics noted the $188 billion in authorized aid supported U.S. jobs and production, with the Trump administration authorizing no major new packages since January 2025 amid talks for Ukrainian drone tech.

Key Takeaway

As Ukrainians face deadly Russian bombings, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled former President Biden a 'very stupid and incompetent leader' for sending U.S. weapons to Ukraine.

The clips actually show Putin on January 27, 2026, placing red roses at Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg to honor the 82nd anniversary of the Nazi siege of Leningrad being lifted—and to remember his older brother Viktor, who died at age two from starvation during the blockade. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran late Saturday, prompting Putin's sharp condemnation as a 'cynical violation' but no such memorial from him. While ordinary Russians left tributes at Iran's embassy in Moscow, the recycled footage—complete with fake news graphics—spread rapidly before users and fact-checkers corrected it by noting the cemetery's snowy hills and prior coverage.

Key Takeaway

Videos circulating online depict Putin laying flowers for Iran's slain leader, but they capture a poignant family moment from two months ago.
