Downing Street video doesn’t show Volodymyr Zelenskyy using expletive to refer to Donald Trump

What was claimed
A video shows the moment President Zelenskyy said "f*** him" when asked about President Donald Trump's latest comments on Ukraine before entering Number 10 Downing Street.

Our verdict
The clip is misleading, and this isn't what President Zelenskyy said. He responded to a journalist by saying: "I'm OK, thank you so much", and did not utter an expletive.
