According to a video spreading on the internet, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy was welcomed with a message that was thought to read “Glory to Ukraine” on a digital flag that ended up displaying “Glory to Urine.” But later on, it turns out that the video was digitally fake.
User @markiank on X, formerly known as Twitter, indicates that the video in question is digitally altered, alleging it to be part of a disinformation measure. Markian asked about the ad’s genuineness based on his observation of the lack of scaffolding at the intersection of 42nd/8th in Times Square.
He works as a Digital Threat Analyst at Microsoft, according to Kuzmowycz’s biography.
Russian information operations have become more sophisticated, occasionally including other factors in their disinformation measures, according to @markiank. In another example, a fake apology from ClearChannel was created to correspond to an Instagram message, although none of these events happened. However, he agreed that some people discovered humor in the animated urine reference.
Some users posted the 6-second-long video on X. One person said “Maybe it was intentional!!!! 🙂 New Yorkers can be pretty blunt about their feelings hahaha.” Others shared memes in response.
Zelenskyy had a personal meeting in New York City with some of the nation’s richest business executives. They discussed how to support Ukraine’s recovery after the battle.
