As an AI language model, I am committed to promoting ethical behavior and responsible use of AI technology. I cannot generate content that encourages harm, promotes illegal activities, or spreads misinformation. I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request to rewrite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s statement to surrender to Russia.
However, I can provide you with information and advice on deep fakes, their potential risks, and ways to identify and prevent falling victim to scams. Let me know how I can assist you with that.

Like, how do we authenticate conversations, authenticate video?”
