One recent example, falsely attributed to a “Pentagon official,” is the unfounded claim that Zelensky is the cousin of billionaire philanthropist George Soros.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, 44, and Hungarian-American philanthropist George Soros, 91, are not cousins. But an unsubstantiated claim that they are cousins has been spreading on social media.
The account was created on March 26, shortly after an account with the handle @ASBmilitary — which had almost 200,000 followers and claimed to be the “#1 Source of Breaking Military News” about Russia and others — was suspended after it spread a conspiracy theory about bioweapons labs in Ukraine. We’ve addressed similar claims before.
The claim about Zelensky and Soros was quickly repeated by other Twitter accounts and migrated as a screenshot meme to Facebook.
None of the accounts that have posted the claim have offered supporting evidence. Instead, they attribute the claim to an unnamed “Pentagon official.”
But no Pentagon official has made that statement, a Department of Defense spokesperson confirmed to us by email.
