A video claiming that USAID, the US government’s main overseas aid agency, has paid Hollywood celebrities millions of dollars to visit Ukraine has gone viral on social media and has been amplified by high-profile accounts like Elon Musk.

Produced by Aisha Sembhi. Motion graphics by Mark Edwards. Additional reporting by Shayan Sardarizadeh.
