Russian video fake: Zelensky and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer

Russian praganda Telegram channels, VKontakte social network groups and YouTube video hosting distributed a video in which allegedly on the stadium screen during a soccer match between the teams "Los Angeles Rams" and "Seattle Seahawks", faces of those present were pasted online on the faces of various celebrities for entertainment purposes. An d photo of Vodymyr Zelensky allegedly turned out to be there. It was paired with an online broadcast from the stadium that featured Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. The video shows that this got the musician angry. Pragandists also emphasized this.

This content is a fake video. This is indicated by Google's reverse search for one of the video fragments. The video used by pragandists can be found flowing two links leading to TikTok, but instead of Zelensky's photo, it shows a photo of American actor Will Ferrell.

It also flows from the post that the event took place at SoFi Stadium that is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

YouTube search for the keywords SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles Rams, and Chad Smith yielded a video shot from a different angle. It shows that the American actor, not Vodymyr Zelensky, was depicted during the performance at the stadium, which once again confirms that the video provided by pragandists is simply a fake.

Russian pragandists repeatedly resorted to photo/video fakes, fabricating content with representatives of the Ukrainian authorities. Last week, Ukrinform refuted a fake video in which allegedly Ukrainian servicemen are throwing darts at the portrait of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valer Zaluzhny.
