In the Russian segment of Facebook and in the media broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric, they are spreading information that the Russian passport of First Lady Olena Zelenska was allegedly found in the villa of the President of Ukraine in Crimea. It is as if it was issued, as indicated on the document, on April 9, 2014. Russian propaganda distributed a video showing a man taking money and a passport from a Louis Vuitton purse. It's fake.

The case was investigated by the fact-checker of the MythDetector project. In fact, the passport displayed by Russian propaganda is a fake. Olena Zelenska posted a photograph pasted into an allegedly Russian document published in 2014 on Instagram and on the website of the President of Ukraine on March 20, 2023. The photo was probably taken in February 2023, when Zelenska recorded a video message to the people of Australia in an identical image: with the same hairstyle, outfits and jewelry.

Thus, Russian propagandists are trying to discredit First Lady Olena Zelenska and cause her to be disdained among Ukrainians. Earlier, Detector Media refuted the fake news that Olena Zelenska received an Israeli passport.
