Olga Loiek said in a video to her page: ”As a Ukrainian, this has been infuriating for me - after all, my family has to hie during air raid sirens and hundreds of thousands of my fellow Ukrainians are getting displaced, injured or killed because of the Russian attacks.”

after her fiancé raised awareness of these accounts, the firm which allegedly developed the tool used to create the AI versions of Loiek responded saying it had blocked her image from being used.

Loiek's face had been generated into 4,900 videos or more.

A spokesperson told the BBC the 'unauthorized content' was due to a hack, and they have since updated their verification methods for better security.
