Oops: Zelensky Appears to Watch Himself in Ukraine Propaganda Edit of UN Speech

A Ukrainian news channel shared an edited video featuring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky appearing to listen in on his own speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

The 1+1 Marathon Ukrainian media outlet disseminated the clumsily edited clip, which features Zelensky speaking to world leaders at the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly — and Zelensky also among the crowd listening intently to his own speech.

The error can be caught at the 14-second mark in the following video:

Social media users theorized the Ukrainian news channel may have made the edit to create the illusion that more people were actually in attendance when Zelensky gave his speech.

“Breaking: Ukrainian media edited Zelensky’s UN speech to make it look like he had a bigger audience,” reported Human Events editor Jack Posobiec.

The actual size of the crowd in attendance, seen in the below video at the 15:11 mark, indeed was significantly smaller than what the edited video showed.

The deceptive edit harkens back to the start of Ukraine’s war with Russia, when the Ukraine Ministry of Defense shared footage from the Arma III video game claiming it showed Ukrainian defenses shooting down Russian helicopters.

Elsewhere in New York City, Zelensky’s arrival was bizarrely hailed by a sign in Times Square that stated, “Glory to Urine,” overlaid on top of a Ukraine flag alongside a photo of Zelensky.

Is US support for the embattled freedom fighter, who’s taken billions from taxpayer coffers, finally waning as more Americans wake up to the reality that Ukraine’s war with Russia is insurmountable, or will the US continue to prop up the failed regime?
