In March 2025, Telegram channels reported that the leaders of Italy and Argentina, in solidarity with the US president, erased all their photos with Vladimir Zelensky. We checked the reliability of this story.
Javier Miley
Information about the removal of photographs with the President of Ukraine from all pages of Milea on social networks appeared on March 1. It is reported that he removed all the joint pictures with Zelensky after his dispute in the oval office with Donald Trump - supposedly this episode caused the indignation of the president of Argentina.

The news was commented by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova.
The eccentric president of Argentina never hid his admiration for Donald Trump. In January, Miley was invited to the inauguration of the US president, and in February he I visited On an official visit to the White House. At the same time, Javier Miley is more than once declared About its boundless support for Ukraine. However, Argentina’s position against Ukraine has recently undergone some changes: in the framework of the UN General Assembly, the South American country I did not support A resolution that condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Most of the media and Telegram channels that published the news of the removal of photographs indicate the Argentinean edition of RTN as the original source. Apparently, we are talking about a note under the heading "Tras El Cruce Con Trump, Milei Ordenó Borrar Sus Fotos Con Zelenski"(" After a skirmish with Trump, Miley ordered to delete his photos with Zelensky " - Spanish.).
The note published on March 4 says about what happened on February 28 Conflict in the White House Between Trump and Zelensky. The author explains that, faced with a sharp decrease in reserves, Miles seeks to avoid complications in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund. Against this background, he allegedly ordered the diplomatic ties with Ukraine, and Argentina explained that the events in the White House were a turning point in the relations of the two countries. According to the author of the publication, Miley decided to fully support Trump’s strategy and delete all his photos with Zelensky and the posts dedicated to him from the social network X. The article emphasizes that the indication applies only to the personal account of the politician (@jmilei), but the authors of viral publications ignored this detail. Besides, On the official website Argentina’s Foreign Ministry does not say anything about a turning point in relations with Ukraine, and even more so about the intention to break diplomatic relations.
In RTN and other sources that have spread information, there are no links to allegedly remote posts, their screenshots or at least a description, so it is impossible to check their presence or absence. At the time of writing a analysis in personal account Milea in X, indeed, there is not a single photo with Zelensky, but such pictures remained in SNIPPETS Some publications about the meetings of the two presidents. At the same time, Miles practically does not post original tweets on this page, almost the whole Content There are reposts of other people's publications.
In the accounts of the politician in other social networks, his photos with Zelensky are still available - the latest common picture was taken on January 22 in Davos, during the latter Meetings two presidents. It is published as in the personal profiles of Mile in Instagram And Facebookand on the official pages of the president of Argentina in X, Instagram And Facebook. The photo is signed by the words: "Long live freedom!" In addition to this picture in the social networks of Miles, you can find and other photo And video With his Ukrainian colleague.
That is, the only page in social networks from where Miley could delete common photos is his personal profile in X. In the accounts of the politician in other social networks and on the official pages of his office, the pictures are still available.
The pro-Russian media and Telegram channels mainly called the original source of this news a note by RTN, released on March 4. Although the information began to spread widely in Runet after the release of that article, the earliest Russian-speaking message about the removal of common photos, which was able to find "verified", appeared on March 1 at 23:09 Moscow time in the Telegram channel "News from the world of eternal struggle". However, a few hours earlier this topic has already been discussed in the portugal -speaking segment X - for example, at 20:08 post about this Laid User @meioindep, gaining more than 270,000 views. In the same post for the first time (and without reference to the source), they reported about the order of Mile to break off relations with Ukraine.
Thus, there are no common pictures with Zelensky only in Milea’s personal account on the X platform, on the pages of the president of Argentina in other social networks such photos can be found.

At the same time, the latest publications of Meloni date back to 2023, over the past two years, the Italian Prime Minister, indeed, has never mentioned Vladimir Zelensky in the X. However, this can be explained by various approaches to maintaining personal accounts.
