  1. Desmentida The price of diesel in the US hit a record high of $6.52 last month.

    IA The results report the record diesel price as $6.53 a gallon, not $6.52. Macrotrends gives $6.53 as the all-time high on Sep 21, 2026, CBS News reports a record $6.53 on Tuesday per AAA, and OilPrice cites $6.5276, which rounds to $6.53. The record and its timing are supported, but the specific figure in the claim is not. The results also do not confirm the claim's 'last month' timing relative to today.

  1. Confirmada Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin on Friday to buy Russian diesel, to deliver millions of tonnes of diesel fuel over the next few months.

    IA Multiple results report that Trump announced on Friday, October 9, in a Truth Social post that he had reached a deal with Putin for Russia to supply diesel to the US and global markets. The stated volumes (300,000 + 500,000 + 1 million tons, plus 3 million more) support the claim of millions of tonnes over the coming months. The results describe the same Truth Social post, so the core details trace to one primary source. Whether the US would formally 'buy' the fuel is described variously as importing or receiving it, which is consistent with the claim.

  2. Confirmada Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the Trump-Putin diesel deal "absolutely terrible" and "not fair and not honest" after it was announced on Friday.

    IA Multiple results report that Zelensky called the Trump-Putin diesel deal "absolutely terrible" and "not fair and not honest," in a phone interview with Axios after the Friday announcement. The Axios and Mezha reports both trace back to the same Axios interview, so the support comes from one original source. The results do not say which exact day the interview took place, so the timing detail is only partly checked.

  3. Confirmada On Saturday, Ukrainian officials reported that a Russian attack killed 12 people in Zaporizhzhia in south-east Ukraine, including three children.

    IA Several results report that on Saturday (October 10) Ukrainian officials, including President Zelenskyy, said a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia killed 12 people, including three children. The Reuters-based report and the Ukrinform report match this. Later reports (17, 20 and 23 deaths) show the toll rose afterward, but they do not change what was reported on Saturday.

  4. Confirmada Trump signed a law last month allowing a broad range of sanctions on Russian banks, officials and tankers, and directing him to impose tariffs on the top five importers of oil or natural gas from Russia.

    IA Multiple results report that Trump signed a sweeping Russia sanctions package into law in September 2026 that directs him to impose up to 100% tariffs on the top five importers of Russian oil or natural gas, matching the core of the claim. The snippets do not mention tankers or banks specifically, and the exact "last month" timing cannot be checked beyond the September 2026 dates given in the sources.

  5. Confirmada Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Senator Elizabeth Warren issued a statement saying the agreement was "what failure looks like".

    IA The official joint statement from Shaheen, Schumer and Warren includes the quote "This is what failure looks like," directed at President Trump's diesel deal, which matches the claim's core. Other results (TradeTrend, Mezha, UNN) corroborate that the three senators issued a joint condemnation, though they do not quote the phrase, and they may repeat the same original statement.

Ninguna fuente independiente las confirmó ni las desmintió. Eso no significa que sean falsas.

  1. Sin verificar Iran closed the strait of Hormuz, which before the war was the passageway for 20% of global oil supplies.

    IA Several results support the 20% figure: Brookings says that before the war roughly 20% of global oil supply flowed through the strait, and Wikipedia gives a similar figure. However, none of the results explicitly says that Iran closed the strait, so the core attribution is not checked, even though they describe a closure taking place.

  2. Sin verificar A gallon of regular fuel in the US costs about $4.20 (£3.17).

    IA The results report US regular gasoline averages of $4.02 (AP, WBAL, March 31) and $4.14 (CNBC, April 7; Empower), at different dates. None states a figure of $4.20, and the £3.17 conversion is not addressed, so the results neither confirm nor clearly refute the claim.
