The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has acquired the Palace Des Neiges hotel at the French ski resort of Courchevel for 88 million euros. This information, as informed by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), is being propagated by Russian propaganda.
In a video disseminated by propagandists, it is claimed that the hotel was purchased through the company Film Heritage Inc, which is linked to the president's family.
To lend credibility to the report, the video shows the hotel’s website, stating that it belongs to this firm.
However, as emphasized by the CPD, the mentioned website was only created on November 22 and has no connection to the hotel, suggesting its use for spreading disinformation.
On the official page of the Palace Des Neiges hotel, a completely different owner is listed, the CPD noted, explaining that this is yet another Russian fake as part of a disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting the Ukrainian president.
It is worth noting that previously, propagandists spread information that the company Film Heritage Inc. allegedly signed a purchase agreement for "The House on Bogen," which belonged to the Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, and acquired one of the largest casino-hotels in Europe — Vuni Palace.
Recall that in July, the French publication Vérité Сasһее published news that Olena Zelenska supposedly bought a Bugatti Tourbillon for 4.5 million euros. The proof of the purchase was a video featuring a statement from a car dealership employee.
In May, American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia has intensified its disinformation efforts to discredit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and call his legitimacy into question.
