False claims USAID paid celebs to visit Ukraine linked to Russian disinformation campaign

Certainly! Here’s a summarized and humanized version of your content:

—

The claim is that E! News资讯 published a video involving USAID funding for celebrities to visit Ukraine. The video, posted on February 5, 2022, falsely suggested that E! News journalism was behind the visits. The verdict is clear: the video is false. Similar claims have occurred in the past, when fake videos have circulated on social media, using accounts like X or Twitter. These kinds of videos have become a significant issue in recent years.

Now, in 2022, Elon Musk, in collaboration with Donald Trump Jr., has been posting on Twitter that USAID funds fake videos involving a wide range of celebrities who visited Ukraine to promote President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. A spokesperson for E! and AFP confirmed this claim, stating that the video was not authentic and did not originate from E! News.

This fake video, claimed to be a “suspicious” hyperlink posted by E! News, serves as a cautionary tale about the misuse of USAID funds. The video highlights the types of celebrity trips USAID is reportedly funding. For instance, Angelina Jolie provided a $20 million visa to visit Ukraine, while Sean Penn and Ben Stiller were praised for their Clinicalonto blog newsletters. Jean-Claude Van Damme’s visit to Ukraine, however, was questioned in interviews. Moreover, E! News media outlets are leaving comparisons to other fake videos impacting Russia and other regions, with some talking about Russian disinformation tactics.
