Russia is making more and more of these fake videos that look they’re from Western or Ukrainian sources.
Recently the Russian propagandists made [one that looked it’s from an Ukrainian telecom company that lied about “400,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the war”.](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-ukrainian-charity-idUSL1N3AC1Y3) This fake video was cited by American right-wing media.
They are emulating the TikTok/shorts style videos that mainstream media publish on TikTok, YouTube shorts, Instagram reels, and Facebook stories.
We are going to need some sort of source verification in the future. Like a big warning label on social media sites saying: **Warning: This clip was not uploaded by DW**
