In November, the Russian media and Telegram channels distributed a video, the author of which said that the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrei Ermak twice tried to contact Jay Di Di Wansa, who had just elected to the post of Vice President, but was refused. We checked the authenticity of this video.
On November 10, the 31-second video was viral, allegedly published by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). It says that on November 6 and 7, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrei Ermak tried to contact Vice President Jay Di Wanses, but both times were refused. This publication allegedly became known from the source in the office of the vice president. According to the video, political scientist Dina Tetus commented on the information as follows: Donald Trump and Jay Di Wans already know what Ermak wants to talk about, and Vice President wants Now There are many other, more important things.
The video was published by such Telegram channels as "NE.SAHAR"(248,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Uncle Glory"(185,000),"Ukraine.ru"(149,000),"Falcon"(122,000), as well as the newspaper"Arguments and facts". Messages about the failed call without video also wrote Telegram channels Colonelcassad (241,000), "Sheikh Tamir"(158 000) and"Alexander Semchenko"(78 000).
In the distributed video, Jay Di Wans is called the US Vice President. Despite the fact that the American presidential election passed November 5 and they won Donald Trump while his position Sounds Like President-Elect, and Vance, respectively, Vice President-Elect. So Vance called and in the American media, including Official resources WSJ. It is also incomprehensible from which office the publication received information from the source-the office of the vice president to the inauguration of Trump continues to occupy Kamal Harris. It is unlikely that such an authoritative American media, like WSJ, could allow such inaccuracies in terminology.
Another personality that is mentioned in a viral video is Dina Tetus. In the video she is called a political scientist who allegedly gave a comment to the publication about Vance's refusal from the call: “Vice President now has more important things to do than to listen to Zelensky’s victory for the same time.” In fact, Tetus - member House of US representatives from Nevada since 2013. Prior to that, from 1988 to 2008, she was a senator and leader of the minority faction. And only from 1977 to 2011, before being elected to Congress, Teach At the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, she expert In the field of history and policy on nuclear energy and weapons. In addition, Tetus is a representative of the Democratic Party. She openly criticizes the actions (or, according to her assessment, inaction) of the Republicans in the issue of assistance to Ukraine. February 24, 2024, on the anniversary of the Russian invasion, Tetus Spended With a statement where she accused the Republicans of inability to provide assistance to other countries, which, in her opinion, gives such dictators like Putin to attack US partners around the world. At the same time, the Tetus is open supports The actions of the Biden administration and advocate for continuing financial support of Ukraine. The last post Titus about the war on the social network X dated September 27, 2024, where the politician supported the next help package.
It is extremely unlikely that Tetus could give a similar comment to WSJ, because it contradicts its public statements and positions on the war in Ukraine. In addition, Tetus did not report on a conversation with WSJ official pages.
The English viral video is made in a vertical format. In the upper right corner, the WSJ logo is visible. The video is decorated in the same style as short vertical videos on the verified accounts of WSJ in Tiktok, on YouTube and in Instagram. Despite the use of the logo and a similar format, the rest of the videos differ significantly. Firstly, WSJ does not use Background music for its publications, almost everywhere the ruler of the host is heard. Subtitles on social networks are displayed automatically, and as an illustration WSJ beret Original frames. The distributed video is combined from old photos that can be found in open sources. For example, a portrait of Vance from the cover of the roller is taken from Records Debats of the elected vice president with a candidate from the Democratic Party Tim Walts, who took place on October 1, 2024. Even if we assume that these personnel are taken for illustrative purposes, it is strange that the video is completely collected from the previously published pictures.
“Verified” did not find a video about the unsuccessful attempt to negotiate Ermak with Wanses either on the verified resources of the publication in X, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok And on YouTubenor on his Official website. There is no this news in other authoritative sources.
Many resources that published a video referred to the Ukraina.ru Telegram channel or posted the video itself with its branded worship. There is a post with a viral video I went out November 10, 2024 at 16:18 Moscow time and scored more than 149,000 views. However, the VERTERMARMA "Ukraine.ru" is absent in some posts. By searching for keywords, “verified” found an earlier publication that contains a viral video in the pro-Russian Telegram channel “Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(74,000 views). The author published this post on November 10 at 15:44 Moscow time. This resource often appears in the analysis of “verified” as the source of false information. At the same time, the Telegram channel regularly publishes videos that imitate the subjects of authoritative media: “verified” disassembled fake videos El Espectador and El Tiempo, BBC, Euronews et al. In all cases, the videos distributed by the Cat Kostyan channel were a cut of old photos with the superimposed text of fabricated news. At the same time, at an hour earlier, at 14:17 Moscow time, the publication with information about the failed calls (but without a video and link to WSJ) appeared in the Telegram channel “Military Observer” (44,000 views), which is also more than once Facing In the analysis "verified".
It is noteworthy that reports about the inaccuracy of this video appeared in the proxual Telegram channels, which previously also mentioned In the analysis "verified". November 10 at 22:40 Moscow time, the author of the channel "Zlaya Prof»Published a note about the distributed video in which he called him Fakeov.
Thus, messages about the refusal of the chosen vice president Jay Di Wans to talk with Andrei Ermaku are based on a falsified video and are not confirmed by other sources.
