Verdict: False

There is no evidence that Zelenskyy has purchased the property. The house is still listed for sale online.

Fact Check:

President Joe Biden signed into effect a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine May 21, according to NPR. The money is intended to provide the country with military and humanitarian aid as it continues to fend off a Russian invasion, the outlet reported.

An image shared on Facebook claims Zelenskyy used some of the funds to purchase a mansion in Florida. The image shows a glamorous villa along with superimposed text that reads, “Zelensky’s new $35 million villa in Florida he purchased this month. Thanks to your $40,000,000,000 tax dollars.”

The claim is incorrect. A reverse image search reveals the home featured in the post is listed for sale on the Sotheby’s International Realty website for $11.5 million. There is no indication it has sold. Ocean Drive magazine dubbed the property as “the most expensive listing on Atlantic Isle to date” in August.
