Latest fact check

The official U.S. State Department readout of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s January 6, 2026 call with G7 foreign ministers explicitly states that “They also reiterated support for ongoing negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war.” This language directly matches the claim that the G7 foreign ministers reiterated support for ongoing negotiations to end the war. A separate readout from the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs confirms the same January 6, 2026 G7 foreign ministers’ exchange on Venezuela and Ukraine, corroborating that the call took place and concerned Ukraine, though it does not repeat the negotiations wording.
