| Description: | After families of Indian nationals reportedly “duped” into joining Russia’s war with Ukraine pressed authorities for help in bringing them home, an AI-generated video was shared in posts falsely claiming it showed one of the men recruited into the Russian army pleading for help from India’s government. The video and several similar clips previously circulated with a disclaimer on a Facebook page that shared other content made with AI. |
