An old clip stoking a false narrative has resurfaced, this time with mistranslated subtitles, as spotted by Misinformation Watch.
Misinformation Watch has established, the video is miscaptioned, with an inaccurate translation woven into Zelensky's speech, which itself has previously been used misleadingly to promote the narrative that Ukraine is escalating the conflict., during which the Ukrainian leader was asked about the possibility of Moscow using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, and what the Western response to it should entail.
In his reply, Zelensky insisted that instead of assessing possible responses to such a strike the West ought to deter Russia from carrying it out in the first place. "Що має робити НАТО? Виключити можливість застосування Росією ядерної зброї. Але, що важливо, я ще раз звертаюся до міжнародної спільноти, як це було до 24 лютого: превентивні удари, щоб вони знали, що з ними буде. А не навпаки - чекати на ядерні удари Росії, щоб потім сказати:"Ах, ти так, ну, ось тримай від нас!" he said, in Ukrainian, which translates to English as:
"What should NATO do? Eliminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons. But, what is important, I appeal to the international community once again, as it was before February 24: preventive strikes so that they know what will happen to them.
The false translation critically changes the meaning of the statement, from"preventing" a strike by Moscow, to"striking Moscow."
