A fake claim is circulating online, alleging that one of France\u2019s largest private investment banks, Milleis Banques, has been acquired by a company linked to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n
The Center has verified this information and confirmed that it is fake. The supposed source of the claim is \u201cFrench media,\u201d but no reputable news outlet has reported such a deal. The video used as \u201cevidence,\u201d which appears to be a news report, features a fake television channel logo that does not exist.<\/p>\n
This disinformation is being spread in the English-language segment of X by accounts that regularly participate in disinformation campaigns against Ukraine. Additionally, the story is being amplified by russia\u2019s Pravda disinformation network, which the Center has previously reported on. russian Telegram channels are further spreading the claim using a fabricated news headline dated March 6, 2025.<\/p>\n
Alongside this false narrative, other disinformation targeting President Zelenskyy is being pushed toward English-speaking audiences. These include long-debunked claims that he owns a $35 million mansion in Florida and holds $1.2 billion in an offshore bank account. This fake story was originally fabricated by russians in February 2022 and has been repeatedly disproven.<\/p>\n
