Video Linked to Attacks in Ukraine Found to Be AI-Generated

On June 2, 2026, Russian drones and missiles reportedly targeted Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and several other cities during the early morning hours. According to reports, the attacks resulted in at least 18 fatalities and more than 100 injuries in Kyiv and other affected areas. Images, videos, and updates related to the attacks were widely circulated across numerous social media platforms. One such post was shared on June 2, 2026, by the user @EthanLevins2 on X.

 


The 46-second video was viewed more than 12,600 times and reposted 102 times within a short period. It also received 773 likes. However, subsequent investigations revealed that the footage had been generated using artificial intelligence. The video was analyzed using HIVE Moderation, which confirmed that the content had been created with AI-based tools.



In conclusion, the short video posted on X on June 2 was artificially generated and does not depict authentic events. Technical analysis identified several inconsistencies characteristic of AI-generated media. This case illustrates how visual content associated with breaking news and ongoing conflicts can spread rapidly when presented as genuine footage. Particularly during periods of war, conflict, and crisis, it is essential to verify the authenticity of shared videos and images through reliable sources and technical detection tools.
