Fake video about Zelenskyy’s parents – level 1

Fake video about Zelenskyy s parents

28-07-2026 07:00

A popular video on the internet tells a bad story about President Zelenskyy’s parents. It says that they take a lot of money illegally.

This story is fake. The creators use a logo from a real news company, but the news company does not make it. The voice in the video comes from a computer. Officials say that Russian teams make this fake video to start more problems for Ukraine. They want other countries to stop helping Ukraine.

Fact-checkers already check many stories like this in the past. There are many similar videos which want to hurt Ukraine.

Difficult words: illegally (against the rules), creator (a person or group which comes up with something new), fact-checker (a person or team who checks if information is correct and true).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Which country's teams do officials say made the fake video that uses a real news logo and a computer voice, and what do those teams want other countries to do?
