Details
It is noted that short AI-generated videos are being disseminated on TikTok, Facebook, and X, claiming that deputies of local councils from various regions of Ukraine allegedly published provocative posts offensive to Poles.
In fact, no such posts appear on the deputies’ official pages, while the “avatars” shown in the videos are fake AI-generated images, as these officials look completely different in reality. The campaign is currently ongoing — new similar videos continue to appear online
They point out that the presentation style and use of AI to manipulate public opinion are consistent with Russian information operations previously detected in the Polish information space. The Russian trail is also indicated by calques from the Russian language in the voiceovers of the videos.
