“Why no prosecco?” A fake video about a Ukrainian woman being dissatisfied with humanitarian aid in Poland

A video has circulated in the Russian-language segment of social media in which a woman allegedly from Ukraine complains about the contents of a package of Polish humanitarian aid. In the clip, the woman says she will “give the canned food to dogs” and expresses shock that the box supposedly did not contain “shrimp and alcohol as a gift”. StopFake reported on the spread of this fake.

Russian audiences quickly picked up the video, accusing Ukrainians of being “ungrateful” and even calling on Poles to “stage a Lviv-style massacre against refugees”.

In reality, the video is yet another fake. An audio track was added to the footage using artificial intelligence: the voice sounds unnatural and has intonations typical of synthetic speech. For example, the “Ukrainian woman” says the canned food is suitable only for dogs and wonders why there was not even “some miserable prosecco” in the package. Such linguistic mistakes immediately reveal the forgery.
