Russian Propaganda Pushes Fake Daily Mail Story Claiming Olena Zelenska Wore $180,000 Outfit at Vatican Ceremony
Pro-russian Telegram channels are spreading a fake news segment, falsely attributed to the British outlet Daily Mail, claiming that Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska wore an outfit worth $180,000 at the farewell ceremony for Pope Francis in the Vatican.
In reality, this is yet another fabrication by russian propagandists. There is no such article or segment on any official Daily Mail platform. The information in the circulated video is entirely fake and has no basis in fact.
The goal of kremlin propagandists is to discredit the First Lady by portraying her as extravagant during wartime and to undermine public trust in the country’s leadership.
