The Virginian colonels in the US Army at US Civil War outbreak were:

R.E. Lee, John J. Abert, Edmund B. Alexander, Philip S.G. Cooke, John Garland, Thomas Lawson, Matthew M. Payne, Washington Seawell, George H. Thomas, René De Russy and Thomas T. Fauntleroy.

Only Lee sided with the Confederacy /1
Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.

He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

A viral video with the logo of Saudi outlet Al Arabiya falsely claims President Zelensky's bought a $3.2m flat in Dubai's Burj Khalifa for his mother.

The video is fake. It's likely the work of a Russian disinformation operation that imitates major news outlets to spread fake news about Ukraine.
