The mayors of numerous European cities have admitted to being fooled by a deepfake of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko in video calls.
Franziska Giffey, the mayor of Berlin was the latest victim on Friday. Giffey said she spoke to someone in a video call whom she thought looked and sounded like the Ukrainian mayor. However, she got suspicious during the call when it appeared Klitschko was asking for the Ukrainian refugees in Germany to be returned to Ukraine to help defend the country against the Russian invasion.
“It is sadly the reality that the war is being waged with all sorts of means, including on the net, to undermine trust by digital means and discredit the partners and allies of Ukraine,” Giffey said.
