A video is being circulated on social networks claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi is allegedly planning to move to the United States, and even showing a fake naturalization document. The fact-checkers from FactCheck.org refuted this fake.

The video begins with the text: “Will Volodymyr Zelenskyi soon become a US citizen and move to live in the sunny state of Florida?”

He was voiced by former Fox News host Clayton Morrison, according to FactCheck.org.

Reports of his alleged move are based on unconfirmed sources and contain numerous inaccuracies, such as the absence of a middle name on the naturalization document and a false name of the signatory.

Such documents require a clear indication of the full name and signature of the person who is not on the certificate shown in the video. This indicates its inauthenticity and an attempt to spread misinformation.

Steve Eil-Lohr, a professor of immigration law at Cornell University, also told AFP Fact Check that a real certificate of naturalization would include the person's signature next to the photo. This is not in the fake image.

Zelenskyi remains in Ukraine, despite the long war, and continues active international activities aimed at strengthening the country’s defense capability and international position. The spread of false claims about his upcoming move is part of an information war aimed at discrediting Ukrainian leadership and misleading the public.

This is not the first time that propagandists have attributed other citizenships to Volodymyr Zelenskyi. For example, in December 2022, they reported that Volodymyr Zelenskyi has a Russian passport.
