Russian propaganda launched a fake that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had allegedly become the owner of one of the largest casinos in Europe

This was reported by Ukraine's Centre for Countering Disinformation.

"A Turkish media outlet cited by Russian propagandists claims that the company that purchased the Vuni Palace hotel-casino, located in Kyrenia, northern Cyprus, allegedly belongs to Volodymyr Zelenskyy," the statement said.

The media does not provide any evidence for its statement.

The Centre for Countering Disinformation stresses that this information is not true. The Russians aim to discredit Ukraine and its government in the eyes of the international community. In particular, to confront Ukraine and Cyprus at the diplomatic level.

  • Russian propaganda is also spreading a fake that Ukraine has launched a Telegram bot to report on neighbours who do not save electricity.
