Russia’s state-controlled TV news network has revoiced a series of Putin’s key speeches using AI to show him delivering them in perfect lip-synched English.

In the clips, collected under the ‘Putin Speaks’ project, the broadcaster has given Putin a young voice with a distinct but not heavy Russian accent.

It is understood that the English versions, done with Putin’s full approval, are a bid to undermine Western translations of his speeches originally delivered in Russian.
