Putin's orca-bear metaphor for Ukraine war traced to AI-generated fake clips

Russian President Putin used a bizarre metaphor comparing the invasion of Ukraine to orcas attacking polar bears, claiming it explains the 'special military operation.' Zoologists note that such attacks are not natural and the imagery likely originates from AI-generated videos circulating on social media. The remark underscores the Kremlin's reliance on fabricated narratives to justify the war, but has no direct market impact.
