The video shows an edited Zelenskyy speaking behind a podium declaring that Ukraine has \u201cdecided to return Donbas\u201d to Russia and that his nation\u2019s war efforts had failed.<\/p>\n In the video, Zelenskyy\u2019s head is comically larger than in real life and is more pixelated than his surrounding body. The fake voice is much deeper than his real voice as well.<\/p>\n As a matter of principle, I never post or link to fake or false content. But @MikaelThalen<\/a> has helpfully whacked a label on this Zelensky one, so here goes.<\/p>\n I’ve seen some well-made deepfakes. This, however, has to rank among the worst of all time.pic.twitter.com\/6OTjGxT28a<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Shayan Sardarizadeh (@Shayan86) March 16, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Meta\u2019s head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, put out a tweet thread<\/a> on Wednesday announcing that the video had been removed from the company\u2019s platforms. \u201cEarlier today, our teams identified and removed a deepfake video claiming to show President Zelensky issuing a statement he never did. It appeared on a reportedly compromised website and then started showing across the internet,\u201d Gleicher said. <\/p>\n Earlier this month, the Ukrainian government issued a statement warning soldiers<\/a> and civilians to take pause when they encounter videos of Zelenskyy online, especially if he announces a surrender to Russian invasion. In the statement, the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications said that the Russian government would likely use deepfakes to convince Ukrainians to surrender. <\/p>\n
