In September 2023, there were reports in the media and social networks that on Ukrainian television, air with the speech of the President of Ukraine at the UN General Assembly was allegedly mounted so that the hall seemed complete, but made a mistake: it turned out, as if Zelensky listened to his own performance. We checked the authenticity of the viral video.
Vladimir Zelensky He performed With a speech at the 78th General Assembly of the UN in New York on September 19, 2023. Two days later, on September 21, many Russian media and Telegram channels appeared reports that Ukrainian television allegedly deliberately instructed the video of the President of Ukraine. As evidence, a 26-second entry with the logo of the 1 + 1 channel is given, where at the 14th second Zelensky is noticeable in the hall allegedly listening to their own speech. Many Russian publications explained to the alleged manipulation by the fact that the Ukrainian television channel wanted to demonstrate: a full hall gathered to listen to the policy.
They told about the alleged miracles of installation on Ukrainian television "Channel One","News","NTV","Ren-TV" RT, "Russian newspaper","Gazeta.ru","RIA Novosti", TASS, Lenta.ru, "Komsomolskaya Truth","Moscow Komsomolets","News","Ukraine.ru","Tsargrad" Readovka, "Ridus","Reginum" Life, URA.RU, "Star" News.ru, "Moscow Region today" Riamo, "National television" And "Sputnik Armenia". In Telegram, the posts that Zelensky listened to himself, scored millions of views: the most viral publications appeared in the channels "Live broadcast"(895,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), Mash (853,000), "The ax live"(822 000),"Before everyone else. Well, almost"(462 000), Zergulio (433,000), "Dmitry Nicotin"(361 000),"Ne. Sahar"(261 000),"Gossip"(260 000),"KB"(259,000),"Signal"(240,000),"Uncle Glory"(229 000),"Urgently, now"(201 000),"Truthfulness"(199 000),"Putin in Telegram"(188 000) and"Ostashko! Important"(112 000). About the alleged fake of Ukrainian television wrote and the channel "Ministry of Physics" (53,000 views), calling yourself a fact of a design project. The video also became popular in public in VKontakte (examples here, here, here And here) and on "Picabu".
To begin with, “verified”, as usual, tried to find the source of the viral video. The earliest publication of those that we were able to track appeared In the pro-Russian Telegram channel “Sheikh Tamir” (119,000 views), where the video was posted on September 21, 2023 at 12:04 Moscow time. “Verified” does not exclude that there are earlier posts without mentioning keywords in the signature to the video, but it is not possible to find them. Channel "Sheikh Tamir" mentioned in dozens of our analysis and often turned out to be a source of fake spread, including fake videos, including some fabricated ethers TV channels.
As in most cases with fake rollers, the same broadcasting of the broadcast is distributed in all the media and posts on social networks, while nowhere is there a video lasting more than 26 seconds. Or records of the screen of the gadget and/or TV on which it is shown. Moreover, in no media or publication in social networks “verified” there was no link to the broadcast to the broadcast. It turns out that a video with the alleged error of the installation of the Ukrainian television channel two days after the performance of Zelensky, apparently, appeared in the only copy in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel, which previously published fakes more than once, but none of the viewers of “1 + 1” is a mistake, if it was, did not notice.
The investigation of how a blooper with two green, appeared on the air of the “1 + 1” telemarathon, Spent The host of the Land24 channel (140,000 views on YouTube) Yegor Beautotin. According to him, in order to deal with the “main mystery of the day”, he looked at the official broadcast on the UN YouTube channel: “The UN has nothing like that, one Zelensky there. It turns out that it was tasted by the Ukrainian television channel "1 + 1". Apparently, they wanted to show that many people were sitting in the hall during the performance of their president, and they hung out the audience from other performances. ” “Verified” also studied the UN entry, where there really was no installation error (the moment of interest to us begins at the mark 05:14:38).
However, it is not very clear why the host did not want or could not check Translation, in fact, from “1 + 1”, where Lyap was supposedly shown. “Verified” studied it on the TSN YouTube channel-the news program “1 + 1”. There the 12-hour video is posted in section Direct broadcasts, that is, in this form, it was demonstrated by the audience. In the Ukrainian entry, the president’s performance begins at the mark 01:35:30, and Zelensky pronounces words from a viral passage in 01:36:48. Translated into Russian quote Sounds So:
... Do not unfold, do not spread, not threaten and not experience, but to contribute to complete nuclear disarmament. Frankly, this is a good strategy. But this should not be the only strategy for protecting the world from this last war. Ukraine gave its third nuclear arsenal.
In the viral video, during the speech of Zelensky, five inserts are shown, on which not protruding is captured, and the listeners in the hall, while “verified” it found that only the latter was shown in the original installation. In fact First, The second And Fourth were during the speech of US President Joe Biden, and The thirdWhere the Ukrainian president sitting in the chair was captured, during the opening word of the Secretary General of the UN Antoniu Guterrisha.
In the recording of the live broadcast of the “1 + 1” telemarathon, as in the UN version, during the speech of Zelensky it was not shown sitting in the hall. Moreover, in the broadcast of the Ukrainian television channel, the president’s words were synchronously translated by another person, in the lower part of the screen there was constantly a running line and the signature that this was the performance of Zelensky at the UN General Assembly in New York, and in the right corner of the video, a reference transmission was shook.
Ukrainian voice acting for the viral video was not recorded on purpose - “verified” found such a sound track in one of the video, also placed On the YouTube channel "TSN". It was also published on September 19, it also There was no Two Zelensky. At the same time, in the upper corners of the roller there are no logos of the “1 + 1” and “єine novel”, which are available in the distributed entry.
“Verified” also found in the viral video several inconsistencies with the official symbolism of the Ukrainian television channel. Firstly, in the real broadcast of “1 + 1” the phrase “Droni for the Cordon” (“Drones for the Border”) is placed symmetrically relative to the center of the QR code, and in the video distributed, it is strongly shifted down; The ratio of the size of the letters also differs. In addition, in the official air, the length of the flag of Ukraine is slightly larger than the length of the word “Novini” (“News”), and in a viral video - on the contrary. Moreover, in the version of “1 + 1”, unlike the viral recording, the words “єine” (“united”) and “Novini” are located exactly one over the other. Moreover, the distance between the logos in the right and left upper corners is also different.
It was “verified” that unknown people could use the original video from the TSN YouTube channel and apply the symbolism of the telemarathon on it, previously inaccurately cutting out logos from a real broadcast. However, you can notice that a part of the rostrum, behind which Zelensky spoke, is also cut on the viral video. In addition, in the upper right corner on the record "TSN" is the UN emblem, which is not on the viral video (and there are no traces of its removal). Probably, the authors of the fake simply properled the TSN video. To check this theory, we made two screenshots of the same moment from the viral and genuine roller, and then combined them. It turned out that the frame of the frame cut through exactly where the UN emblem ends.
In the evening of September 21 on the website "TSN" appeared The official statement of the marathon "єdini novel". There, a video with two Zelensky was called a fake and claimed that Anatoly Shariy was his primary source. The blogger is really Loaded The video in his Telegram channel (804,000 views), but he did it more than an hour after the post in the Sheikh Tamir channel.
On Thursday, September 21, Russian and pro -Russian sources began to disseminate false messages about the installation of the broadcast of the speech of Vladimir Zelensky to the UN. The Marathon team "єini Novi" reports that this information is not worthy, and calls for a journalistic community and authors of digital content to counteract the Russian fake.
In the joint appeal of the media editorial office, participating in the organization and maintenance of the marathon, they called to make sure that the video fake, having checked YouTube broadcasts or archives Ott-platform. The authors indicate the same features of the fake as “verified”: for example, the inconsistency of visual markings (geotiter, dies and running rows), to the translation voiced by different dicters, and to which video formed the basis of the fake.
Special attention in refutation paid to the fact that the fabricated video was distributed by some Ukrainian sources, including news sites, Telegram channels, and even Verkhovna Rada deputies. “Verified” confirms this, since we have found similar publications, for example, on sites ”Focus" And Vesti.uaas well as in the channels "All -seeing Eye 🇺🇦 Ukraine"(289,000 views),"Politics of the country"(78 000) and Klymenko Time (20,000; many Russian publications were referred to this channel, but soon the post was complemented by a refutation). The organizers of the marathon called to investigate the reasons for the spread of the fake in the Ukrainian information field and announced the lack of factskeeping in individual Ukrainian media: “It is important that the authors of such publications publicly indicate their erroneousness and tell readers about the fake of published information.”
It is noteworthy that some Russian publications, among which RT, "RIA Novosti" Lenta.ru, "Moscow Komsomolets","Star" Eadaily And "Reginum". However, most of them reinvented the meaning of the statement: as if the editors of the marathon recognized the mistake and called for a test of the Ukrainian media that spread the fragment containing it.
As for the statements about the performance of Zelensky before the half -empty hall of the UN General Assembly, they were checked by factor from projects Factcheck.kz And "Ґvar Media ". Our colleagues conducted their investigations about whether the audience was true left the hall during the speech of the President of Ukraine and whether the small number of spectators indicate the loss of interest in Zelensky. In both cases, the factor came to the conclusion that such statements are manipulative.
Thus, there was no mistake on the air of the 1 + 1 telemarathon, because of which it turned out as if Zelensky listened to his own speech. This is confirmed by both a visual analysis of the viral video, and how and where it began to spread from. The editors of the Ukrainian broadcast also called the recording a fake.
