On the afternoon of Tuesday, December 2, DeepState reported telegram channel that Ukrainian defenders had allegedly posted a fake video from Pokrovsk, Donetsk region.

"The most obvious fact in the footage is a pedestrian crossing sign that decided to dance," the post reads.

The project analysts explained that the enemy spread footage of their presence in the central part of Pokrovsk, where they filmed a video with a tricolor.

"And over time, a fake video appears on network X on page 425 of the OSHP, which was generated by AI to 'refute' the Muscovites, which does not add to public confidence," DeepState noted.

The Command of the Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated LIGA.net that an internal audit is underway. They promised to report on its results later.

At the time of publication of the news, the video mentioned by DeepState was not available on Skela's X-account.
