"This video is a deepfake video. This guy is not real and this was never said," the community post said. "The website that is linked literally still has parts describing what should be put there along with the fake news." It also described 'Aussie Cossack' as Simeon Boikov, who "is a known Kremlin propagandist."
Kyle Glen, from the Center for Information Resilience, which counters disinformation, wrote on X that "the video is obviously AI generated but that's not the best thing about this ludicrous claim."
"The operators of the website are so lazy that they haven't even removed the instructions from their Russian handlers," he wrote, noting at the top of an article about a new drone used by Ukraine, "it tells them what is "good" (Trump, Russia) and what is bad (war in Ukraine, pharma."
It also said the person claiming to be an employee at the Bugatti outlet had only four posts on Instagram, "with the first post published just 4 days ago. It's also worth noting that the man in the video shows signs of an artificially generated deepfake.
"Russian propagandists launched this fake before the NATO summit in order to discredit Ukraine's top leadership in the international arena," the thread added.
