The Ministry of National Defense warns that these misinformation actions are expected to continue in the next period, which is why we recommend caution to users of digital communication platforms before redistributing information on these topics, which can be verified from official sources.

Also this year, MAPN has disassembled a proportional fake news of the Russian propaganda, which was spread on social media, and who claimed that a Romania's F-16C bombed Russian forces near Herson, Ukraine.
