Fact check: False claim about Ukraine, Clinton Foundation resurfaces amid Russian invasion

The claim: Ukraine was the largest donor to the Clinton Foundation for 15 years

While unrelated footage purporting to show the Russian invasion of Ukraine runs rampant online, some social media users have resurfaced an old narrative about foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

“Ukraine largest donor to the Clinton Foundation 1999-2014,” reads text in a Feb. 26 meme on Facebook.

Similar rumors about Ukrainian financial donations to the Clinton Foundation have gained traction on Twitter. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., promoted an iteration of the claim during a Feb. 19 rally in Texas, according to PolitiFact.

But the posts misrepresent a chart from 2015, which ranks individual contributions to the foundation based on nationality. As FactCheck.org reported in 2019, the Clinton Foundation hasn't received donations from the Ukrainian government.

that Ukraine was the biggest donor to Clinton's campaign which would be clearly illegal. But now I know where that comes from. That story and Biden firing the prosecutor who was supposedly investigating Hunter are fantasy stories getting repeated again these days. You have to be so stupid to believe them and still, these claims will never die.
