Description:

A video assembled to look like a BBC report about Ukraine’s first lady seeking political asylum has been shared by social media users but is a fake, a spokesperson for the outlet has said.
The video mimics the British broadcaster’s formatting for visual reports on social media, with multiple uses of its logo, red and white branding, and familiar typeface.
