Fake: Ukraine Launched a Massive Bot Attack on YouTube
Wired has never published such claims, and the video itself was probably created using AI. The fake is noticeably different from the outlet's official style: it lacks the characteristic title, and the footage used is of poor quality. StopFake's journalists found no evidence of such a bot campaign; instead, they discovered that after Zelensky's meeting with Trump, Russian propaganda stepped up the spread of deepfakes, doctored screenshots, and fake videos bearing the logos of well-known media outlets to sow dissension among Ukraine's allies and demoralise Ukrainian society.
