Did the Ukranian soldiers do this following the deepfake video? As far as I understand it, most of them are still fighting the Russians. What damage or harm occurred here?
I am pretty sure modern military command and control does not rely very heavily on "the video looked like it was the president saying it".

There are many earlier (questionably "deep fake") examples: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/03/nancy-p...
