At the end of June 2025, a video appeared on the Web, in which Olga Stefanishina appeared in support of a partial ban on foreign trips for some Ukrainians. We checked the authenticity of this video.
The video on which the Minister of Justice and the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine on European and Euro-Atlantic integration Olga Stefanishin allegedly declares the need to ban the country to leave the country and spread on June 25. The video is a fragment of a telephone interview with the official, allegedly shown on the air of the Freed. On the record of Stefanishin, he says: “When young girls leave for Poland or Germany, we lose not only them, but also the children whom they could give birth. I would legally forbid to leave Ukraine for children of childbearing age, from 18 to 27 years old. ” The video signatures noted that this initiative has already been supported in the Verkhovna Rada.
The video was published by the publication Lenta.ruas well as Telegram channels "Pozdnyakov 3.0"(360,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"NE.SAHAR"(201 000), Colonelcassad (171 000), "Ukraine.ru"(123,000),"Typical Odessa"(120 000),"Voblya • News"(113,000),"Ostashko! News"(92 000) and others.
Despite the statements that the idea to limit the young Ukrainians to travel abroad has already been supported in the Verkhovna Rada, “verified” did not find news about it both in the Ukrainian media and on site Ukrainian parliament. There are no publications on this topic and on verified Stepanishina pages In social networks.
In the upper right corner of the viral video, the logo of the Ukrainian television channel “Freed” is placed, and a multi-diverse for its resources opens through the QR code in the lower corner. Although "free" broadcasts In Russian, Stefanishin and leading in a viral video speak Ukrainian.
Most viral publications do not indicate when exactly the minister made a resonant proposal. In the note Lenta.ru This topic provides a link to video On the Freed YouTube channel on June 25, but in all ten hours of Stephanishin’s broadcast, it did not appear in it. Minister on this day accompanied President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky on his trip to the NATO summit in the Netherlands. In addition, on June 25, other presenters worked on the air, and not one of the news indicated in the running line of the viral video corresponds to that broadcast. For example, reports that the United States insists on the ban on the enrichment of Uranus in Iran, and Tehran urgently exports oil due to the threat of Israeli strikes, showed On the air of June 20. At the same time, the final part of the viral video, where the host thanks Stephanishin for the comment, completely coincides with the video, published Two years ago, on the YouTube channel "Rada".
At the same time, the speech of the official from the viral video sounds unnatural: for 30 seconds she speaks without hesitation and with even intonation. This suggested that audio roads were created using AI. “Verified” was analyzed by audio through a specialized Deepfake-O-Meter detector, and he appreciated the probability of using neural networks as extremely high.
Most likely, the author of the viral video took the original video prescription from the YouTube channel “Freed”, inserted a photo of the minister, added a generated sound track and the final screensaver from the plot of the Rada television channel.
The earliest publication that contained a fake video and which was found "verified", appeared In the Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu" on June 25 at 14:30 Moscow time. Then he dispersed through other channels-both Russian and Ukrainian-speaking. "Shaman Rahu" often It appears In the analysis of "tested" as the primary source of fakes about Ukraine.
In the evening of the same day, Olga Stefanishina Published On Facebook, a post in which she called a dipfepe recording on social networks. However, this did not prevent further distribution fragment.
Thus, the Minister of Justice of Ukraine did not propose to legally ban young women to leave the country. This statement is based on a video created using AI.
