Дипфейк о переездах китайских дипмиссий

Video in which Russian minister claimed mission transfers turned out to be fake

A video has surfaced online in which Russian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryazhkov appears to state that diplomatic missions of the People's Republic of China have moved from Belarus to Russia, saying: 'Why duplicate them in the Union State'. According to a domestic media-published disinformation exposure project, the video is a deepfake.

However, on October 1, 2025, the minister did give an interview to 'Pervy Informatsionny', where he commented on the results of his visit to New York, emphasizing that Belarus's voice is confidently reaching the international public. The meeting in New York did not concern the relocation of Chinese diplomatic missions.

Subscribers and readers are urged to remain vigilant: whenever in doubt, verify information through official sources to avoid falling victim to fake news.

Context

Summary:

A video claiming Chinese diplomatic missions are relocating to Russia is being circulated, but it's fake; in reality, the minister was referring to a visit to New York.
