Ukrainians have been warned about fake Russian propaganda regarding "Zaluzhny's team's mansions" in California.

Russian propaganda is spreading a fake video claiming to show the mansions of high-ranking Ukrainian military officials in the United States. This was reported on January 12 via Facebook by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation (CCD) under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
Украинцам напомнили о ложной российской пропаганде, касающейся "особняков команды Залужного" в Калифорнии. Будьте бдительны к фейкам!

It has been noted that a fake video is being circulated by the United24 Media platform.

The video claims that during the wildfires in California (USA), eight mansions were damaged, which allegedly belong to high-ranking military officials from Ukraine.

Specifically, the video states that these houses were supposedly purchased by "members of the team of [former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii] Zaluzhnyi" between April 2022 and February 2024, as highlighted by the CPD.

The Center verified the information with United24 Media and stated that the platform did not create or distribute this video material.

"The aim of this falsehood is to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the CPD at the NSDC concluded.
