DISINFO: Zelensky est un toxicomane.
SUMMARY
Si quelque chose est republié, on en déduit qu'il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu—[ou qu'aucune feuille ne bouge sans un souffle de vent, comme le dit un proverbe slovaque]. Par conséquent, il n'y a aucune raison pour que nous ne puissions pas commenter et discuter de ce qui est apparu dans la sphère médiatique. Ainsi, la possible dépendance aux drogues de Zelensky n'est pas entièrement infondée.
RESPONSE
Recurrent Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative targeting the Ukrainian president.
This accusation is part of a long-term ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign that relies on doctored videos and outright fabrications to claim that the Ukrainian president is a drug addict. These doctored videos, often appearing in pro-Kremlin accounts and outlets, have been used to defame President Zelenskyy for years. See here, here and here for additional examples.
The fact that a rumour spreads does not prove that it is true. This is the very principle of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) campaigns carried out by the Kremlin : repeating indefinitely baseless narratives that destabilises power in targeted countries.
