During a video call on Friday, Giffey expressed doubts as to whether she had ties with the mayor of Kiev as planned. The conversation then ended prematurely. Giffey then tweeted that she was asked if they could speak Russian at the beginning of the conversation. Other employees may not understand what is being discussed.
Digital manipulation in video switching?
The Senate Chancellery assumes digital manipulation: “Apparently we are dealing with deep forgeries,” said Senate spokeswoman Lisa Frerichs. A complaint was lodged against an unknown person for false identity pretenses and the mayor’s office in Kiev was informed.
