(Reuters) - A blurry video of a Volodymyr Zelenskiy lookalike dancing with a rocket launcher has confused social media users who have reshared the clip believing it to show the Ukrainian president himself.
Hundreds of thousands of people have watched the 59-second video which shows a man resembling Zelenskiy shooting a music video.
“Let’s check in on Zelensky who is in the midst of a horrific battle for his life and the lives of all Ukrainians,” said one Twitter user whose caption has repeatedly been copied and shared elsewhere (here , here , here and here ).
But the man in the video is a comedian who impersonates Zelenskiy, as seen in a clearer version of the video on his TikTok here .

VERDICT
Miscaptioned. The video shows a Zelenskiy impersonator, not the president himself.
