Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
Misbar's team found that the video shows behind-the-scenes moments from the production of a music video. As stated by the original publisher, this refers to the making of a music video called "Brothers."

Zelenskyy Saying U.S. Will Send 'Sons and Daughters to War' Is Miscaptioned
Contrary to social media users' viral claim, the video is miscaptioned and does not feature a recent statement from Ukraine's Zelenskyy following a heated meeting with Trump on February 28. [...]
Zelenskyy stated, "The U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending [our] sons and daughters to war."
However, Zelenskyy was referring to a hypothetical scenario where Ukraine's defeat could trigger a wider conflict, forcing the U.S. to intervene as a NATO member.
Following last month's reported Oval Office confrontation between Trump and Zelensky, two videos emerged recently, purportedly of a pro-Trump rally in the U.K. after Prime Minister Keir Starmer's demonstration of support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Misbar investigated the clips and found the claim to be misleading. The allegations misleadingly portrayed previous protests as support for Trump's recent stance on Ukraine.
A video, claiming to show an Ukrainian female soldier applying make-up in a war zone with allegations that Ukraine is staging fake combat scenarios to gain financial aid from the United States, is widely circulating on social media.
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FABRICATED.
What was claimed
A video shows Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying the US will have to send their sons and daughters to fight in Ukraine.
Our verdict
This clip is from 2023 and has been taken out of context. In the full video, Mr Zelenskyy discusses how Ukraine losing the war would risk Russia invading Baltic NATO member states, potentially leading to US involvement on the ground.
A video has surfaced on TikTok of luxury cars pulling up to a private jet with a caption suggesting that it shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy using billions to fund such a lifestyle.
The Verdict False
The video comes from the Instagram account of a private jet provider company and nothing in the original post links the jet and cars to Zelenskyy.
AI-generated audio has been added to the clip, falsely making it seem like the BBC correspondent swore about the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting on air.
What was claimed
BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse was caught on a hot mic after the meeting of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump in the White House, saying: "This is the second time ever that a US president ****s someone in the Oval Office."
Our verdict
This audio clip has been faked. Mr Waterhouse says it is AI-generated, and a full clip of the report shows no such comments were broadcast.
Wired has never published such claims, and the video itself was probably created using AI. The fake is noticeably different from the outlet's official style: it lacks the characteristic title, and the footage used is of poor quality. StopFake's journalists found no evidence of such a bot campaign; instead, they discovered that after Zelensky's meeting with Trump, Russian propaganda stepped up the spread of deepfakes, doctored screenshots, and fake videos bearing the logos of well-known media outlets to sow dissension among Ukraine's allies and demoralise Ukrainian society.
