False Claim Circulates: Ukrainians Most Engaged with Putin's 2025 Speeches
A false claim has been circulating on Russian Telegram channels, suggesting that Ukrainian users were the most engaged with Vladimir Putin's speeches in 2025. This misinformation is based on a fabricated image purporting to show data from Statista. The fake image, which has been circulating on Russian Telegram channels, claims that 78% of all internet users who watched Putin's speeches were from Ukraine. This figure is impossible to verify and is likely false. The image also cites Social Blade as a source, but Social Blade does not analyze individual videos. Instead, it focuses on overall channel statistics. Statista, the actual market research company, has not released any such study on its website or social media platforms regarding viewership statistics for political speeches. The spread of such false information is an attempt to mislead the audience into believing that Putin's speeches are widely followed in Ukraine. This is part of a broader trend of disinformation aimed at influencing public opinion. Despite the false claims, Statista has taken the first place in the dissemination of data regarding the most engagements with Vladimir Putin's speeches on social media platforms in 2025. The Russian Telegram channels' misinformation does not reflect genuine data or statistics.
