Claim Details

Russia is winning the war in Ukraine.

Checked on 2024-09-28

Veracity Assessment: False

Probability: 0.3

Justification: The evidence provided shows that Russia has made some gains in the war, but it also indicates that Ukraine has been able to hold its ground and even retake some areas. Additionally, there are statements from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Czech President Petr Pavel suggesting that the war could end sooner than expected. This mixed information makes it difficult to conclude that Russia is definitively winning the war, hence the low probability score.

Verdict: Uncertain

Final Truth Score: 0.56
