00:00Zelensky has once again been hit with false property empire allegations.

00:06A so-called news report is circulating online alleging that Ukraine's President Volodymyr

00:12Zelensky is the owner of a $1.2 billion real estate empire. The video alleges that a former

00:18investigator at Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau, known as Olena K, defected to Europe

00:25with thousands of pages of internal files that supposedly show systemic corruption at

00:30the highest echelons of the government in Kyiv. She allegedly oversaw a task force tracking

00:36offshore wealth transfers and shell companies tied to Zelensky and his allies, which were

00:41used to buy more than 100 luxury properties abroad for the president and his family.

00:46On paper, Zelensky owns nothing. In reality, he owns everything, the video claims.

00:51However, there's absolutely no evidence that any of this is true.

00:54with the video appearing dubious at best. The voiceover on the video is clearly AI and robotic,

01:01hinting at its lack of legitimacy. Many posts on X sharing it also link to its apparent source,

01:06a website called the London Telegraph, which seems to conflate the names of real news outlets

01:11like the Daily Telegraph and the London Evening Standard to feign legitimacy.

01:16Euroverify was unable to access the page of the journalist who supposedly wrote the story,

01:21but other fact-checkers said her photo was stolen from a legitimate journalist unaffiliated with the

01:26website. There's no reputable reporting on Olenakay or a defecting NABU agent and no evidence of the

01:33file supposedly detailing Zelensky's transactions anywhere. Both Zelensky and his wife Olena Zelenska

01:39have previously been the targets of allegations that they own a vast property portfolio or spend aid

01:46money for Ukraine on luxury goods, but they have all proven to be bogus reports that attempt to

01:51destabilise support for Ukraine against Russia's war.
