Is it true that Elena Zelenskaya received Israeli citizenship?

In June 2023, reports appeared in Runet that the first lady of Ukraine received a passport of Israeli citizens during a visit to this country. As confirmation, a photo page of the document is given. We checked the reliability of this picture.

Elena Zelenskaya Arrived In Israel on June 19, 2023, starting his working trip with a meeting with the country's president, Yitzhak Duke and his wife Michal. The next day, June 20, Russian Telegram channels and the media replicated the news that the wife of the Ukrainian president allegedly received an Israeli passport. The proof was the photo of the main page of the document with Zelenskaya data. In some posts, it is stated that the passport is issued June 19, in others - 18th.

The authors of some reports on the receipt of Zelensky Israeli citizenship do not doubt the reliability of information-for example, in the Telegram channel "Sanya in Florida"(370,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), where it is also said:“ So, the clown [Zelensky] will have the same or will have the same. These are them, Ukrainian patriots. ” Channel "Rita Ebzeeva"(72,000), on the basis of a viral picture, claims that" the issue of Zelensky’s resignation has already been resolved, [a] the outgoing paths have been worked out. " Similar posts appeared in the channels "Urgent and accurately"(18,000),"Lev Scharanian | Official channel"(14,000),"Before everyone else. Well, almost. Special operation"(12,000) and"Odessa public television z z"(6000).

The first thing that catches the eye when careful consideration of a viral photograph is the discrepancy between the issuance dates (19/06/2023) and the end of the action (18/06/2023) of the passport. It turns out that this document was already invalid, since the validity period was completed the day before it was allegedly issued Zelenskaya.

Journalists of the Stopfake factory project Markthat many counts of passports are filled with errors, since the words are written from left to right, although on Hebrew They write and read from right to left. So, the surname is incorrectly indicated (הס This instead זל wood), the name (─ אול wood), nationality (ילאular exactly instead ישראליhod) and the place of birth (תוצ wood תירו instead ברית המוemy ות). In addition, when writing a nationality in the word, one letter is missed.

In addition, different fonts are used on the distributed page of the document in some columns, although they must coincide. This is one of the traditional features of fake, since the authors of fakes often take as a basis, for example, a template of this document, and then Can't Pick up Faithful Fonts for inscriptions that want to add. Differences are most noticeable by the letters A and S, as well as numbers 1 and 9.

The earliest publication with a viral picture, which managed to find "verified", appeared June 20, 2023 at 14:06 Moscow time in the Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu" (3400 views). This channel is more than once Facing In our analysis as the source and the distributor of fakes, and also not of the highest quality. For example, a fake photo was posted there monkeys named Zelensky from the USA, fake picture textbook History of Ukraine with Zelensky on the cover, fake sketches "more youth" clothes PCU priests and fabricated photography walls With a portrait of Biden in the office of the director of the Zaporizhzhya school.
