According to Blikk, drugs were placed on Zelenskyi's desk to discredit the president.
A video that shows Volodymyr Zelensky negotiating with Elon Musk while a huge dose of cocaine is resting on his desk next to his computer is spreading like a virus on the Internet.
"However, the video that scandalized many is nothing more than a surprisingly well-executed scam. In the original recording shared on March 6, 2022, there was no trace of drugs, we only got a glimpse of the white powder much later, in a version published at the end of April." Blikk writes.
The article was also picked up by Mandiner , where commenters asked the million dollar question:
how do we know which is the original recording?
Pro-Russian accounts are currently sharing a video (left) that has a big ol' pile of cocaine digitally added to smear Zelensky. The original video (right), sans cocaine, can be found here https://t.co/cChEsa7Sbj pic.twitter.com/JAfGsiEIDj
