"A sign of low intellectual level": Podolyak on the enemy's deepfake with Zaluzhnyi

Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak commented on the diplomatic fake of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, which was created in Russia. He said that the emergence of such fakes indicates the low intellectual level of Russians.

Podolyak told this to Channel 24. According to him, in almost two years of war, Russians have not understood what Ukraine is.

That is why such fakes will never be accepted in Ukraine, but on the contrary, they will only further moralize and mobilize Ukrainians.

"With this fake, the Russians are showing that they do not understand how our government structure is built and at what level the president communicates. For example, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Russians do not understand how they communicate daily, what the military cabinet looks like, what the Headquarters meeting is and how they can objectively interfere in this communication," the advisor to the head of the Presidential Administration explained.

This, in turn, demonstrates that the occupiers have very poor intelligence as they do not know who is who in the president's circle.

"This shows the effective counterintelligence work of our special services. This is again a positive element. When the Russians do something informational, they think that we are just 'giggling' and so on. But we draw certain conclusions," Podoliak said.

He added that no matter what kind of fake information is spread, everyone who works on the front line and in the rear to supply the army has no choice but to defend their land and win.

Despite all the difficulties of the war, difficult moments and depression, there is a full awareness of Ukrainians that there is no option to go back. There is no way to find some kind of "compromise" or "surrender." Podolyak is convinced that, on the contrary, the effectiveness of actions in Ukraine will increase.

As a reminder, Russian resources have spread a fake address by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi. In it, the general allegedly criticizes President Volodymyr Zelensky, calls on Ukrainians to protest in city squares, and tells the military not to obey "criminal orders" from their commanders.

National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said that Russia is unable to win on the battlefield, and therefore has engaged all its agents in Ukraine. The aggressor country has also begun to massively spread all sorts of fakes, throwing huge amounts of money into disinformation, which it uses to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
