Zelensky is a cousin of Soros?

If you want to be successful in relevant circles, you don't have to worry about the most effective way to make a wave. Remember: The self-titled “critical self-thinkers” do not do exactly this. So just claim anything that could fit into a grand conspiracy, cite any source, sit back and eat popcorn. Don't worry, success is guaranteed without you having to prove anything! A recent example: The Pentagon allegedly confirmed (for whatever reason) that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a cousin of George Soros. Proofs? Doesn't exist!

The claim that Zelensky is a cousin of Soros
The claim that Zelensky is a cousin of Soros

Nobody has heard of it.
No newspaper reports anything about it. Nothing about this can be heard in the news. Well, why? Because it's supposed to be covered up, that has to be the only reason, right? But maybe also because it's absolute nonsense!

Where is the official confirmation from the Pentagon?

The Twitter account “MUBreaking” ( HERE ) even writes that the Pentagon has officially confirmed this.
However, all that is shown as “evidence” in this and other Facebook and Twitter posts is a photo of Zelensky and Soros, who supposedly look alike. True. Both have hair, two eyes, a nose and a mouth. But that's about it for the similarity, because the huge age difference alone makes it doubtful that they are really cousins.

So let's check out the Pentagon's official channels:

No such announcement can be found in any of the Pentagon's official channels, so there is no official confirmation from the Pentagon. The colleagues from “ Reuters ” also asked the US Department of Defense directly and were confirmed that there was never such a statement from the Pentagon.

Nothing to be found in the family tree

We don't know the family tree of Volodymyr Zelensky, but the family tree of George Soros is well known and well examined, for example HERE . But there is no Selenskyj to be found in any direction.

As a cousin of Soros, Zelensky would have to be the son of a brother or sister of Soros' father or mother.
Soros' father Theodor Schwartz died in 1968, unknown whether he had any siblings. It is unknown when his mother, Erzsebet Szucz Elisabeth, died. It is also not known whether she had any siblings.

But even if Soros' parents actually had siblings, they probably died sometime between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. However, Zelensky was only born in 1978, while Soros was born in 1930

Conclusion

The claim that Volodymyr Zelensky and George Soros are cousins ​​is absolutely untenable. Not only has there never been such a statement from the Pentagon as has been claimed, but Soros' family tree and age calculations do not allow for even the remote possibility that they are cousins ​​or otherwise related.

Most likely, this nonsensical claim was intended to once again fuel the anti-Semitic conspiracy myth that the war in Ukraine is just one piece of the puzzle of “Jewish world domination,” which is of course controlled by the relevant circles' favorite enemy, George Soros, who is repeatedly used as the basis used for crude conspiracy myths.
