Ukraine has been receiving $140 million per month for its psychological operations against Russia since 2022 from USAID.

Verdict: False

There is no evidence for this claim or that Fox News reported it.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming that Fox News reported that a Ukrainian unit was receiving $140 million per month from USAID. One user wrote, “Ukraine has been receiving $140 million per month for its psychological operations against Russia since 2022 from USAID. It looks like they made ‘whorebots’ for all the money.”

There is no evidence for this claim. Check Your Fact reviewed Fox News’ website and did not find any articles matching the one in the X post. No credible news outlet has reported on the matter.

It appears to be altered from this Fox News article titled, “‘DOGE boys’: Dems fume over spending cut spree at rally outside Trump’s next potential target.” This article does not mention USAID providing a Ukrainian unit with $140 million per month.

Logically Facts also debunked this claim. A Fox News spokesperson told Logically Facts that the claim was false.
