“Russia won a legal case in The Hague concerning Crimea and the Sea of Azov.”
The statement overstates a mixed ruling. Russia benefited because the tribunal rejected much of Ukraine’s case and awarded no damages, but it also found Russia violated parts of maritime law. The Hague arbitration did not recognize Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea or endorse exclusive Russian control over the Sea of Azov.
“At a NATO leaders’ summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney turned his back on U.S. President Donald Trump and walked away while Trump was speaking, and the incident was captured on camera.”
The alleged walk-away incident is not supported by credible reporting or available summit footage. Major outlets covering the NATO summit in The Hague and videos from the event do not show or describe Carney turning his back on Trump and leaving while Trump was speaking. Several cited social posts and clips are either unrelated, low-reliability, or from different settings, so they do not substantiate the claim.
