Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.
Performing a Reverse Image Search of the viral video keyframes, the NM team traced a TikTok account ‘@animatronic3D’ carrying the same viral video with a similar caption.
Further, its ‘about section’ states: “Showing the world how AI+ Robots will change our world”. We could also see many similar edited videos showcasing robots.
We also found that the edited video was taken from a Sky News report, dated April 6, 2022, capturing Zelenskyy meeting former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson outside Ukraine’s presidential administration building.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that an edited video is falsely shared as UK sends robots to Ukraine.
