FRANKFURT — In a video that surfaced recently, ECB President Christine Lagarde says that a decision on the issuance of a digital euro could be made in October.

The video referenced in this article features an alleged conversation between Christine Lagarde and two individuals who are believed to be the notorious Russian pranksters, Vovan and Lexus. The authenticity of the video has not been independently verified, and no official statement has been made by Ms. Lagarde’s office or any mainstream media outlets in the three weeks since the video’s release. Given the history of Vovan and Lexus, it is essential to approach the content of the video with caution, as it may not accurately represent Ms. Lagarde’s views or statements.

It is important to note that Vovan and Lexus are known for their elaborate hoaxes, which often target high-profile figures in the political, entertainment, and business sectors. Their pranks have been known to cause confusion, and in some cases, contribute to disinformation. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware that the content of the video may have been manipulated or taken out of context.
