Fake video about Zelenskyy’s parents – level 2

Fake video about Zelenskyy s parents

28-07-2026 07:00

A viral video on social media falsely claims that the parents of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are in trouble for corrupt money. The video uses the logo of a famous news channel, but the story is completely fake.

Fact-checkers found that Euronews didn’t make this video, and the voice in it was made by AI. Ukrainian officials explained that this video is part of Russian propaganda to share fake news. The main goal of these fake stories is to make people around the world lose trust in Ukraine and stop helping the country. There were many similar fake reports about the Zelenskyy family before

Difficult words: corrupt (used illegally), propaganda (information and ideas which want to influence people’s political opinions), trust (the belief that something is good, honest, or safe).

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

What did fact-checkers discover about the video's origin and voice, and how did Ukrainian officials characterize its purpose?
