Original Note:
The video claiming Macron, Starmer, and Merz were involved in a cocaine scandal during their Kyiv trip is not real. Fact-checks show the alleged cocaine was a tissue, and the "spoon" was a stirrer. These claims, spread by conspiracy accounts, are misinformation. https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/non-emmanuel-macron-na-pas-cache-de-la-cocaine-prise-avec-friedrich-merz-et-keir-starmer-dans-le-train-pour-kyiv-20250511_ERP2X225XBFWZCNO4OZEXT5OFI/
