In December 2024, a fragment of the broadcast of the American television channel spread, which is allegedly, during the welcoming embrace of the presidents of Ukraine and France, advertised the program “Great Thieves of the 21st Century”. We checked the authenticity of this video.
WITH On December 8, a fragment of the direct broadcast of the NBC television channel allegedly diverges over the network. At it, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and his French colleagues Emmanuel Macron hug at a meeting, and the Great Thieves of the 21st Century (“Great Thieves of the XXI Century” appears in the lower right corner of the screen.

December 7 in Paris took place The ceremony of the opening of the Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God, restored five years after the fire, which destroyed the roof and spire of the temple. World leaders arrived at the ceremony, including the elected President of the United States Donald Trump, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, the first Lady of the United States Jill Bayden, President of the Federal Republic of Germany Franca-Walter Steinmeier, Italian Prime Minister George Melony, British Prince William, President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili and many others. Senior guests were met by French President Emmanuel Macron with his wife Brigitte.
This event also attracted special attention and thanks First The full -time meeting of Zelensky and Trump after the re -election of the American politician, as well as their three -way negotiations with Macron, which took place in front of the ceremony. According to the sources of Reuters and The Wall Street Journal, the presidents of Ukraine and France were discussed with the future owner of the White House Security guarantees for Kyiv and methods control for compliance with the possible ceasefire.
In the lower right corner of the viral video, the logo of the American television channel NBC and the inscription "The re -opening of the Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God" is visible. On Official website And the NBC YouTube channel is a triumph broadcast-the full version lasts almost three hours. It begins with the arrival of honored guests who are met by Macron and his wife. After 38 minutes broadcasts A car with Zelensky drives up to the cathedral, and at the mark 38:42 It begins Excerpt from the viral video. However, in the original broadcast there is no advertisement for the show "Great Thieves of the 21st Century." The fragment with the participation of Zelensky lasts about two minutes, but during this time there is no such announcement, as in the entire broadcast as a whole.
In the note of the Hungarian PS.tv It is saidthat the “Great Thieves of the 21st Century” is the name of the new (but already popular) series NBC, which tells about fraudsters and criminals who have committed the largest scams of recent decades. But like on Official website NBC, and in its accounts in social networks There is no information about the existence of such a show. Judging by the virus roller, it was supposed to be aired on December 7 at 20:00 (according to which time zone it is unknown). Program program for that day on the NBC website now Inaccessiblebut in the release evening news On December 7, there is no such announcement, although schedule It ends at 19:00, that is, an hour before the alleged show of "great thieves." There are no similar ads in the program on other days. “Verified” failed to find evidence that the show “Great Thieves of the 21st Century”, in principle, exists.
It could be assumed that the video with a pop -up advertising television channel deleted after the scandal. But, firstly, on YouTube, the broadcast took place in real time, and now the saved record of this broadcast has been published, which the authors could only slightly change: for example, cut the segment or apply the effect of the bluer on some frames. Such signs of editing on the NBC video are not noticeable. Secondly, the broadcast took place on December 7, and the viral video began to spread only the next day-at least it is strange that no one paid attention to the alleged embarrassment with advertising at once. Finally, there was simply no scandal that could encourage the NBC to edit the video - not a single authoritative American media wrote about the similar oversight of the channel.
Adding via the video editor of disinforming details to genuine rollers is a common method of creating fakes about Ukraine. For this they can be used as a video with walks in different cities of the world, where Add, For example, Fake Advertising on billboards, and published A few years ago, fragments of English -speaking television shows.
The video was distributed mainly by Russian -language resources, but you can also find several English -language publications on the social network X. For example, video Published Irish publicist whose bouz, who Collaborates with RT and often Lays Anti -Ukrainian posts. The earliest publication The video that I managed to detect "verified" appeared in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel "Odessa Za Victory!" December 8 at 12:39 pm Moscow time. This resource is already mentioned in the analysis of "verified" as a distributor of inaccurate information and even The source fake news.
Thus, the NBC did not show in the broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God an advertisement for his shows about thieves - neither at the time of the meeting of Zelensky with Macron, nor any other. The logo of the non -existent program, apparently, was added to the video using a video editor.
