Pro-Russian sources are spreading reports that Ukraine's first lady Olena Zelenska allegedly cancelled a lecture at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) due to mass protests by local residents against “Ukrainian Nazism”. However, this is manipulation.

StopFake reports this. The project's experts found out that the Slovenian publication STA, which the propagandists refer to, noted that the reasons for the cancellation of the event at the Faculty of Social Sciences are unknown. Despite this, Olena Zelenska met with the faculty and the university administration. During the meeting, Rector Gregor Majdic announced the creation of a Ukrainian Studies Department and the cooperation of the Faculty of Architecture with the Karazin Kharkiv University to restore the destroyed buildings. Olena Zelenska also donated books as part of the Ukrainian Bookshelf project to the National University Library. A pro-Russian protester appeared near the library, shouting in English “The war must end” and “Russia will win”. The man was detained by the police. Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob condemned such behavior, calling it unacceptable in modern society.

Propagandists spread this disinformation to undermine trust in Ukraine and its representatives on the international stage. Their goal is to create the illusion that Ukraine and its leaders face widespread rejection abroad due to supposedly “unacceptable” policies. Such tactics are also intended to weaken the morale of Ukrainians by promoting the idea of isolating the country. The spread of fakes about protests against “Ukrainian Nazism” is part of an information war aimed at discrediting Ukraine and forming a positive image of Russia as a “victim”.
