Serviciile germane de informaţii observă o creştere a dezinformării legate de Rusia cu privire la cancelarul Merz

German intelligence has reported an increase in disinformation campaigns targeting Chancellor Friedrich Merz, linking them to Russia. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution noted a rise in these activities since June 2026. Disinformation often appears as videos mimicking reputable media outlets and is primarily spread on social media platforms. Key players in this misinformation include the 'Matryoshka' campaign and the propaganda group Storm-1516, which was officially connected to Russia in December 2025. The main goal of these campaigns is to escalate social tensions and undermine trust in democratic processes.
