[sbe-eas] No panic after fake Putin emergency broadcasts on Russian radio/TV

[Sean Donelan]

In Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk regions a deepfake audio and video of Russian 
President Putin was broadcast on a few radio and TV stations.  The 
deepfake announced martial law and directed residents to evacuate.

It was only broadcast on a few random radio/TV outlets; there was no 
continuing coverage on news tations; and eventually Kremlin spokespeople 
announced some stations had been hacked.

The fake broadcasts did not appear to create much reaction from the 
public, beyond posts on social media saying "that was weird."

I assume because of the lack of message confirmation from multiple sources.
