Fake Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview that he uses cocaine

A video of an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he allegedly says he uses cocaine, is being spread on foreign networks on social media. In the video, Zelensky speaks Ukrainian, but the subtitles were translated for him. Correctiv fact-checkers drew attention to this fake. This video was edited from excerpts from Zelensky's 2019 interview with Ukrayinska Pravda. At that time, the Ukrainian segment of social networks also distributed videos with stickers from this interview, which allegedly showed that Zelensky admitted that he was using drugs.
