Fake Putin Speech Calling for Martial Law Aired in Russia
On the same day it appears that Ukraine may be launching the much-anticipated counteroffensive, some hackers release this fake Putin video. Who might these hackers be? Supposedly it's rather easy to see that this video is a fake, but at the rate AI is improving....ugh.

Fake Putin Speech Calling for Martial Law Aired in Russia

A faked declaration of martial law and military mobilization by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia aired Monday on a number of Russian radio and television networks, an incident that the Kremlin described as a hack.
The bogus speech, which was broadcast on the Mir radio station and television networks, said Ukraine had invaded three border regions and urged their residents to evacuate to the Russian heartland.
The clip also depicted Mr. Putin declaring a general mobilization, saying all the power of the country needed to be harnessed to defeat a dangerous and insidious enemy.
The press service of Mir, a Russian public broadcaster, said in a statement released to the state news agency Tass that its radio and television channels had been illegally interrupted for a little more than a half-hour before being restored.

That should cause some chaos.
