A compilation video of Zelenskyy dancing includes clips that aren’t of him

What was claimed
A compilation video shows five clips of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy dancing.

Our verdict
The first clip actually shows Argentinian dancer Pablo Acosta, while the second has been manipulated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to superimpose President Zelenskyy's face onto the dancer's to create a deepfake. The other clips are genuine, however.
