Since then, photo montages, deepfakes, and fake graffiti featuring the Ukrainian president have been circulated with the aim of damaging his credibility and reinforcingthe narrative that he lacks international support in the war initiated by Russia. Most of this content seeks, through ridicule, using tactics such as so-called "hahaganda", to weaken trust in the Ukrainian side, as well as in the country’s citizens and leaders.
