In the media, a video is being circulated showing that a new robot from the Royal British Forces has allegedly arrived in Ukraine. In the video, Volodymyr Zelenskyi is seen walking alongside the robot and later interacting with it.
However, in the original video, Zelenskyi is walking and interacting not with the robot but with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak.
