Russian propagandists are spreading a video on anonymous Telegram channels and media outlets in which journalists from the Good Day Sacramento American show  allegedly mock the combat losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, it is a fake.

This is reported by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security and Ukrinform. It was Ukrinform experts who found out that the original video is dated December 2019. This is confirmed by the New Year decorations in the studio, identical to those that were in the show then. Modern episodes of the show use completely different decorations. In addition, the fake video does not have the large mask of the Grinch character, which was in the real show. The show itself has a purely entertainment format, where the hosts joke and cover local events, and do not discuss political or military topics.

Such actions once again demonstrate Russia's methods of information warfare, which include distorting reality to achieve propaganda goals. This fake news is aimed at spreading false messages about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, lowering the morale of the Ukrainian military, and demoralizing society.
