According to Ukrinform, the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council stated this on Telegram.

"Hostile channels are spreading a video featuring an alleged Ukrainian serviceman showing a destroyed gas station in Poltava region. In the recording, the 'soldier' emotionally says that due to the enemy's systematic attacks, 'the situation is becoming more difficult every day.' In fact, the video was generated by artificial intelligence, and the clip itself was first published by a TikTok account that poses as a 'Ukrainian military channel' and has previously posted similar AI fakes," the statement said.

The CCD emphasized that the goal of this campaign is to artificially exaggerate the impact of its strikes on Ukrainian fuel infrastructure in the media space, create the illusion of a large-scale crisis, and demoralize society.

As Ukrinform reported, in Kharkiv Russian forces struck a gas station with a drone, injuring two people.
