Recently, enemy propagandists spread disinformation about Ukrainian porn actress Maya Konovalenko, also known as Nancy Ace. Referring to an "interview" she allegedly gave to The Sun, the Russians claimed that the actress was going to run for president.
However, there is no such publication on The Sun's official website or social media. To support their lies, the Russians created a fake video. They took an excerpt from an online broadcast on the Rocco's World YouTube channel, where Konovalenko talked to porn actor Rocco Siffredi back in April 2020, and edited it using neural networks.
The enemy produces such fakes to discredit the current government (they say that the porn actress will cope with the post better than Zelensky) and provoke a dismissive attitude towards Ukrainian women, the rebuttal says.
