Claim ID 2c17d38b
What is the claim?
Social media users are circulating a video claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently purchased two yachts, ‘Lucky Me’ and ‘My Legacy,’ worth $75 million, allegedly funded by U.S. and EU financial aid. This claim, based on a NewsBreak article, gained traction after pro-Kremlin conspiracists Clayton and Natali Morris featured it on their YouTube show "Redacted."
However, the two exclusive listing companies for the two yachts — Burgess Yachts and BehneMar — have confirmed to Logically Facts that the yachts have not been sold and are currently on sale.
What did we find?
BehneMar, which has listed 'Lucky Me,' told Logically Facts, “Statements that BehneMar sold the motor yacht 'Lucky Me' are totally wrong and false. We can confirm that the yacht has not been sold and is still for sale with BehneMar as the exclusive listing company.”
Similarly, a representative from Burgess Yachts told Logically Facts, “Burgess can confirm that 'My Legacy' is currently for sale with Burgess as the exclusive listing brokerage house. We can confirm that the yacht has not been sold and, therefore, remains for sale.” The yachts are also on sale on the Burgess Yachts and BehneMar websites.
