The Embassy of Ukraine in Cyprus has issued a rebuttal to media reports claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has become the owner of a casino resort in the occupied north.
In a statement released today, the embassy denied the allegations, stating that the story “is yet another lie aimed at discrediting Ukraine and its leadership in the eyes of the world community.”
The statement reads, “Russian propaganda spreads a fake story that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has allegedly become the owner of one of the largest casinos in Europe, which is located in Cyprus.

The embassy added that the report “is intended to create diplomatic tensions between Ukraine and Cyprus.”
“We urge readers and media professionals to trust only reliable sources and be cautious of manipulations and Russian propaganda,” the statement concluded.
