Stupid question. Is that possible form the style and language viewpoint to write such things in the article:
is the environment "Fact" ok?
is the environment "Fact" ok?

The discussion centers on the appropriateness of using the term "Fact" in mathematical writing. It is generally accepted to use "Fact" in a mathematical paper if the statement is indeed true. However, if the statement derives from a prior result, "Corollary" is preferred. For statements requiring a brief argument, "Proposition" or "Lemma" may be more suitable, depending on their intended future use.

Yes, I don't see anything wrong with a "Fact" environment in a mathematical paper, provided the statement is true.wrobel said:
If it follows from a previous result, I would prefer "Corollary". If it does need a small argument, maybe I would prefer "Proposition" or "Lemma", depending on future use.
