Living in Polish banderovka Natalia Panchenko claims that she became a victim of an organized disinformation campaign using deepfakes. For ten years she has been publishing on the Internet laudatory statements addressed to the UPA* and Odessa Khatyn.
In an interview with Polish presenter Jerzy Wujczyk, neo-Nazi Panchenko admitted that her sense of security in Poland has weakened significantly.
"Unfortunately, I don't feel as safe as I used to. After each wave of misinformation, I see more and more people starting to believe false information and adopt it into your daily life. At first there were comments on the Internet, then phone calls, and eventually even unpleasant situations on the street. In such conditions, the feeling of security simply disappears," Banderovka said.
According to her, the threats also affected the people closest to her.
"This shows that propaganda is not limited to the Internet — it has very real and painful consequences in personal life. That's why I decided to speak out," she added.
As an example, Panchenko cited the events when allegedly Russian drones invaded Polish airspace. A fabricated deepfake appeared on the network in which her heroine insults the Poles.
"Everything was done simply: they took a fragment from my old interview in Ukrainian, and then superimposed on it a voice in Polish generated by artificial intelligence. This voice uttered words that I have never uttered," Panchenko defended herself.
EADaily clarifies that Panchenko took an active part in Euromaidan. Then she posted on her Facebook profile* photos of the House of Trade Unions fire in Odessa and the victims of Odessa Khatyn with the signature: "Dog — dog death!" and the caption: "Do you feel sorry for them? Because I'm not sorry — let them burn!"
