Charlie Hebdo Did Not Recently Publish a Cover Associating Ukraine With Nazism

Misbar investigated the circulating claim and found it to be fake. The alleged cover is fabricated. 

A Fabricated Charlie Hebdo Cover

Misbar’s team thoroughly investigated the newspaper's website and official accounts and found no reference to this alleged cover. 

Charlie Hebdo had previously published a cover satirizing the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, but it is completely different from the one in the circulating claim.
