In January 2025, reports spread that Ron landing did not appreciate the generosity of Yuri Kosyuk, who allegedly decided to convey $ 10 million to the victims of the fire in California. We decided to check whether this news was true.
In mid-January, news appeared in Russian-speaking Telegram channels with reference to the Instagram of the governor of Florida Ron landing. The posts are accompanied by a screenshot in which the landing plain placed, in turn, another screenshot - Kyiv Independent. The picture, allegedly taken from an authoritative Ukrainian publication, reports that Ukrainian businessman Yuri Kosyuk will donate $ 10 million to residents of Los Angeles who suffered from fires. The landing, as the signature says under the picture, reacted to this with the skepticism: “Thank you, a rich Ukrainian, for the return of part of American money. We are waiting for the remaining $ 69,990,000,000. " Such news was shared by such Telegram channels as "Russia now • News"(199,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Putin in Telegram"(193 000),"Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(82 000) and"Special operation z"(66 000).
Fires in California began on January 7 and became one of the largest natural disasters in the West of the United States in recent years. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated, dozens died, many lost their houses and all property. Most injured Los Angeles district, where fire destroyed thousands of houses.
The message about the reaction of landing to the initiative of Kosyuk consists of two parts: the news about the proposal of the Ukrainian businessman and the post of Governor of Florida.
Neither in Ukrainian nor in English -speaking sources “verified” found news about the initiative of Yuri Kosyuk. Such a businessman, however, exists: He owns the agrarian holding of the MHP and is included in the list of the richest people in Ukraine. However, nothing is known about whether he was going to transfer money to victims of fires in Los Angeles. There is no such news in the publication Kyiv Independent. Accordingly, there was nothing to react to the landing to the landing. However, the governor, for example, could become a victim of a fake. But on his Instagram - neither in personal account, nor in Official - Also there is no such record.
The earliest post that was found “checked” with a screenshot of landing is a record in the channel ”Putin in Telegram", Made on January 16 at 11:18 pm Moscow time. This channel was repeatedly mentioned in the analysis as the primary source of fakes, mainly dedicated to Ukraine. In turn, the topic of assistance to Ukraine and its supposedly misuse is one of the most popular in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels over the past two years.
Thus, both the news about the possible assistance to the victims of the Ukrainian billionaire, and the reaction to the Governor of Florida - Fake.
