After getting Humiliated by TRUMP in the Oval Office, comedian Zelenskyy decides to return to his Dancing career!
Fact-Checking
To clarify the facts, we analyzed the video in question. The three key questions that will help determine its authenticity are: Is the video showing Volodymyr Zelensky dancing real? How was the video made? Has the Ukrainian president been filmed dancing before?
Is the video showing Volodymyr Zelensky dancing real?
No, the video is fake. Although it was shared even by influential people, such as the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump (source), it is actually a deepfake. In other words, a digitally altered video that changes the identity of the person in the footage.
How was the video showing Volodymyr Zelensky dancing made?
The original video belongs to an Argentine dancer named Pablo Acosta. In it, Acosta performs a dance routine, but his face was digitally replaced with Zelensky’s, creating the illusion that the Ukrainian president was dancing. This manipulation was debunked by fact-checkers (source).
The original video can be viewed directly on the dancer’s Instagram profile (source).
Has the Ukrainian president been filmed performing a dance?
Yes, Volodymyr Zelensky has been filmed dancing, but in a completely different context. Before entering politics, he was an actor and comedian and participated in a 2006 edition of Ukraine’s “Dancing With the Stars.” Footage from this participation went viral at the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia war in 2022 (source).
Conclusion
The video allegedly showing Volodymyr Zelensky dancing after an argument with Trump at the White House is fake. It was digitally generated through a deepfake, manipulating a recording of Argentine dancer Pablo Acosta. While Zelensky has been seen dancing in the past, it was in a completely different context when he participated in Ukraine’s “Dancing With the Stars.”
