Russian military command is likely feeding Vladimir Putin fake, AI-generated videos of fictitious victories in Ukraine, the Financial Times reports, citing sources close to the Russian dictator.

According to Financial Times sources, Putin's determination to achieve victory on the battlefield is pushing generals to inflate the scale of their conquests. "When someone reports taking a town, they brag to the colonel, who then brags to the general, who then brags to the lieutenant general, who then passes it on to the General Staff, who then passes it on to the commander-in-chief. And by the time they've all had time to report, our forces have already retreated," one of the newspaper's sources stated.

According to him, orders are then issued to attack further positions, based on false reports of the capture of previous ones, even though there are no Russian troops there. "Because of this, both sides suffer enormous losses. That's why Stalin executed people for this," the source added.

As the Financial Times notes, the number of fake AI videos about the capture of various towns and cities in Ukraine already numbers in the dozens, and while they previously appeared on Z-blogs, they have now become part of official reports. Specifically, in mid-October, the Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of a soldier waving the Russian tricolor from the window of a damaged building in Dobropillia, an important city in the Donetsk region. These images were undoubtedly edited, as "the flag in the video abruptly changes its position," and this cannot be explained by file compression or camera noise, Ruslan Leviev , head of the Conflict Intelligence Team, told the Financial Times.

Between June and August, ISW analysts counted at least 35 videos that could have been fabricated using AI, 10 of which were identified as fake with a high degree of certainty. These videos featured soldiers from at least 10 regiments and brigades. The total number of fake videos is likely higher, given the limitations of existing AI detection software, ISW noted.

One telling example of Putin's reliance on false reports is the AI-faked claim of the pseudo-seizure of Svyatogorsk, which was debunked by General Andriy Biletsky, commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who personally arrived in the city, as well as by the Z-community.

Russia will likely continue its practice of falsely claiming victories, says Dara Massicot, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "The gap between claims and reality is widening. The Kremlin feels no internal pressure to hold itself accountable for these claims," she notes.

In September, Putin claimed on national television that his army had seized 6,500 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since the beginning of the year, the FT reports. In reality, Russian-controlled territory has increased by at best only 1,500 square kilometers, according to OSINT analysts.

Taking into account the lands recaptured by the Ukrainian army, the Russian army's net gain from January to October inclusive was only 119 square kilometers of captured territory, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
