00:00Μακρόν, Μακρόντζ και Σταρματία Ταρκή ΤΙΑΝΑ ΡΟΣΟΝΗΝ.

00:08Viral social media posts are alleging that French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer were caught taking cocaine on their trip to Kyiv.
00:19At the centre of the claims is this video, showing the three leaders greeting one another on a train from Poland to Ukraine, ahead of a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky to reaffirm their support for his country.
00:31Social media users allege that the white object next to Macron's glass is a bag of cocaine, which he hurriedly removes, and that the object next to Mertz's hand is a snuff spoon.
00:41The claims have also come from the highest echelons of Russia's government, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova posting on her official Telegram channel that the trio got high together.
00:52But they have all the hallmarks of being part of a widespread Russian disinformation campaign designed to harm Ukraine and its allies' credibility.
01:00The Elysee Palace stated on Ex that the alleged bag of cocaine is a mere tissue, and that the fake news has been spread by France's enemies at home and abroad.
01:09Indeed, it's been shared all over the internet by pro-Russian accounts and media, and has even been pushed by far-right figures who are routinely critical of Ukraine.
01:18The objects causing the controversy clearly look like a tissue and some sort of stirrer, as opposed to anything related to drugs.
01:25And that's what substance use research has told Euroverify too.
01:29A clip of the meeting was recorded and shared by both the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse, two reputable news agencies which made no reference to any drug use,
01:39and which surely wouldn't have been allowed in the room had anything untoward been going on.
01:43Other accounts have since been sharing doctored images, trying to make the tissue look more like a bag of cocaine,
01:49but these two are ultimately part of the disinformation campaign.
