Fake AI videos of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering spread on TikTok
Russian propaganda has launched a wave of fake AI-generated videos on TikTok showing Ukrainian soldiers allegedly surrendering near Pokrovsk. The Center for Countering Disinformation reports that the videos are part of a coordinated disinformation campaign to demoralize Ukrainians and influence foreign audiences. The videos are captioned in various foreign languages and distributed by a network of accounts.
