A post shared on Facebook claims to show a Charlie Hebdo magazine cover of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Verdict: False

There is no evidence that this image was created by the magazine. It is fake.

Social media users are claiming to show a Charlie Hebdo magazine cover of Zelenskyy in a coffin. It is allegedly from March 19. (RELATED: Is Elon Musk Paying The Salaries Of The Rescued Astronauts For A ‘Full Year?’)

“The political corpse emits its last gas’: a new illustration by the French political magazine Charlie Hebdo. ‘Ukraine is independent’, says Zelensky from his coffin in the illustration,” reads one user’s post.

This claim is false. Check Your Fact reviewed Charlie Hebdo’s magazine covers, such as the March 19 cover. No such cover shows Zelenskyy in a coffin. A wider search of the magazine’s website also did not yield any results for this claim.

Martin Lom, a Charlie Hebdo journalist, told Logically Facts that the image is fake.

“Yes, it’s a fake, and it’s common since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The official cover from the week is always pinned on the X official account of the journal,” Lom told the outlet.
