Alleged Deepfake Disinformation Broadcast by Russian State TV Blames Ukraine for Moscow Attack

March 23, 2024

Russian state media is reported to have broadcast deepfaked videos of Ukrainian officials, notably fabricating a video of Secretary of the
National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine admitting to orchestrating the Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow. The effort appears to be a bid to wrongly assign blame for the incident, which ISIS-K has officially claimed.
