The Russians are distributing a video report on behalf of the American publication The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which states that the newly elected US Vice President J.D. Vance allegedly twice - on November 6 and 7 - refused to speak to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak on the phone.

However, this video is fabricated. This is reported in the StopFake project. First of all, the WSJ did not publish such a video either on its website or on social networks (X, Facebook, YouTube). In addition, the video has obvious errors indicating its falsity. For example, J.D. Vance is called Vice President, although today the politician has not yet taken office and has the status of Vice President-elect of the United States. The current Vice President of the United States is Kamala Harris.

The video also quotes “political scientist” Dina Titus as saying that “the vice president has more important tasks now than to listen to Zelenskyi's Victory Plan once again”. While Titus could indeed comment on current political events, she is not a “political scientist” but a member of the US House of Representatives from Nevada. In the end, StopFake journalists were unable to find any confirmation that Titus actually made such a statement.

Let us recall that on November 8, 2024, it became known about a telephone conversation between the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump.

Earlier, we analyzed the Russian fake news that Yermak called Macron a hypocritical politician for wanting to cut aid to Ukraine.
