Russian information operation called Matryoshka is now targeting Ukrainian refugees, VOA finds.
The videos show how artificial intelligence is likely being used to create provocative deepfakes that target refugees.
VOA found that the campaign pushed two videos that aimed to make Ukrainian refugees look greedy and ungrateful.
Experts say the underlying strategy of spoofing real media reports is nothing new.
The danger of deepfakes isn't restricted to explicit images or impersonations of politicians.
Deepfakes also have been used to target politicians and candidates for public office.
It remains unclear whether they have actually influenced public opinion or election outcomes.
An X post featur phony videos of refugees received 55,000 views.
