In early November 2023, the news about the investigation appeared in the Russian media and blogs in which the fund, established by the wife of the President of Ukraine, was accused of the sale of Ukrainian children of the pedophiles. We decided to check if this is true.
Messages about the scandal around the Zelenskaya fund began to be distributed on November 7. From the Russian media told about this "Moscow Komsomolets","Arguments and facts" And "Tsargrad". TEELGRAM channels such as ""The world today with "Yuri Podolyak""(1.6 million views at the time of writing this analysis), Anna kuznetsova (245,000), "Putin in Telegram"(191 000),"Sheikh Tamir"(144 000),"Ostashko! Important"(115 000).
The vast majority of the media referred when publishing news about the Elena Zelenskaya Foundation on The Intel Drop. It was alleged that he was based in Iceland. Such a site really exists, and Article about the Zelenskaya Foundation There appeared on November 5th. There are no indications either to the authorship of the text or the origin of the site in general on The Intel drop itself.
Using the service Urlvoid FACECARS from "VOKS Ukrainian»It was possible to establish that the site was created in September 2022 and registered in the Netherlands.
The main content of the site is pro -Russian publications, among which there are frank fakes (for example, articles on the impact of "NATO secret bunker"In Ukraine and about the" joint training "" Azov "and Hamas"), as well as the theory of conspiracy and frankly Anti -Semitic records.
The only source of the article about the Elena Zelenskaya fund is a video on YouTube, in which an unknown man who seems to be a former employee of the fund talks about the trade in children. He speaks in French, but it is not possible to determine the personality of the narrator: the recording is made in a half, a man’s hood and a mask that covers the lower part of his face.
As evidence, The Intel Drop publishes a picture of a certificate, but this does not allow the person to identify - a photograph of his owner, like his name, is smeared.
The channel where the interview appeared is called Robert Schmidt. This allowed the Russian media and Telegram channels to write that this is the name of the author of the investigation and that this is the French journalist Robert Schmidt. At the time of writing, the video of the video remained the only one in this channel with 129 subscribers. This allows us to conclude: the channel was created solely so that the site could refer to it in its article.
The most famous journalist with a fairly common name Robert Schmidt is a reporter living in French Strasbourg. But judging by his articles, Ukraine is not included in the circle of its professional interests - Schmidt writes mainly on topics related to the French or German regional agenda.
The text has a mention of the French philosopher and public figure Bernard-Henri Levy. At the beginning of 2023 he sent Revenues from their documentary films to the Elena Zelenskaya fund. The Intel Drop claims that Levy is a participant in the pedophile network. Even if it is assumed that some French journalist took part in the creation of an article, he could hardly allow the name of the main antihero of publication to be written with a rough mistake.
The article confused the name and surname of the philosopher: instead of Bernar-Henri Levy, Bernard Henri-Levy was written. This could be attributed to a typo, but only a surname appears in the next phrase, without a name: Henri-Levy. Given that in France Levy is one of the most famous figures in politics and public life, it is impossible to imagine that the Frenchman does not know his last name.
Another source to which Reference Russian media and bloggers - site DC Weekly. The article in this edition is not much different from the publication on The Intel drop, even the erroneous spelling of the surname Henri-Levy has been preserved. Jessica Devlin is indicated as the author of the material. Her biography on the site tells about the work of the Devlin reporter during the war in Iraq and about cooperation with the Bloomberg editors in Moscow. However, no mention of such achievements of a journalist named Jessica Devlin could not find. In addition, a photograph accompanying her profile on the site is a stranger, actually in the photo, the famous writer and journalist Judy Batalion.
Finally, they called fake publications about the Zelenskaya and Ukrainian authorities. Advisor to the head of the presidential office Daria Zarivny I counted This is a deliberate misinformation campaign, adding that there is a photo of her own daughter among the photographs of supposedly stolen Ukrainian children.
So, articles about the involvement of the Elena Zelenskaya Foundation appeared on sites, according to all the signs resembling English -speaking channels for the spread of Russian propaganda narratives. In one case, the author of the publication is unknown, in the other - a profile with a fake biography and a foreign photo is indicated. Source - video on YouTube, uploaded into a specially created channel with a minimum number of subscribers. Then the news was distributed by Russian propaganda Telegram channels, repeatedly convicted of the spread of fakes, and behind them-Russian media.
