The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) refuted Russian disinformation claims alleging that Ukraine’s first lady, Elena Zelenska, is under “investigation”, the agency wrote on May 17.
“NABU and SAPO would like to draw attention to the spread of another wave of disinformation in Russian and pro-Russian media regarding alleged 'investigations' into the wife of the President of Ukraine. This information is untrue,” the officers stressed.
“NABU and SAPO are not carrying out any of the procedural actions alleged in these false reports.”
NABU noted that these false claims are part of a systematic disinformation campaign by Russia to discredit Ukrainian institutions, undermine trust in anti-corruption authorities, destabilize the socio-political situation, and weaken Ukraine’s unity in the face of a full-scale war.
“We urge citizens and media representatives to verify information, use official sources, and not to contribute to the spread of manipulations and fakes used by Russia as an element of the information war against Ukraine,” the agency added in their statement.
