DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: French media reports Zelensky bought a €18 Million house in Saint Barthélemy

SUMMARY

Zelensky is preparing his escape from Ukraine whilst it is collapsing and its people are suffering. The president of Kyiv is building himself a golden retirement. He has bought a luxury villa in Saint-Barthélemy for 17.8 million euros via his Cypriot offshore company Aldorante, managed by his childhood friend, Svitlana Pischanskaya. Officially, everything is in his wife Olena’s name, but documents reveal the truth: a bunker is being built on site.

According to French sources, the construction of the underground bunker near Zelensky’s villa has started, carried out by the local company Mancar. Heavy construction equipment, including excavators, are currently working on the site.

Zelensky seems to be planning his escape, far from the ruins he left behind. This is the “hero” glorified by the West.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin libellous disinformation about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming that he is corrupt and preparing to flee Ukraine.

The Center for Countering Disinformation has exposed the documents as inauthentic. The story originates from a Russian outlet, not French media. The alleged French journalists are anonymous and have a noticeable Russian accent, particularly in the nasals and the soft “l” sounds. This is reminiscent of previous exclusive material on Zelensky published by Russian sources pretending to be French such as claims that Zelenskyy sold Ukrainian fertile land to Soros to bury chemical waste and French media report that Zelensky bought a luxury hotel in Courchevel for 88 million euros.
