The target of Russian disinformation may be Greece in the coming hours and days, according to the Guardian, ahead of the European elections that will be held between Thursday and Sunday in the EU.

In particular, the Guardian mentions in its publication that Greece is among the possible targets of fake news identified by the European Observatory on Disinformation Media of the European Union.

The allegations regarding Greece state that it is going to be the target of a nuclear attack by Russia. Other false claims are that Russia is preparing a direct attack on the EU and that China will declare war on NATO if member states attack Russia directly.

In other fake news, a fake video is circulating from Portugal, purporting to show nuclear weapons being mobilized by the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, in Spain, there are false claims of rising youth unemployment circulating on X and debunked by InfoVeritas, one of the EU’s many fact-checking centres.

Fake news checkers at broadcaster EFE have also dismissed as completely false claims that Spain’s People’s Party (PP) list leader Dolors Montserrat called pensioners earning €18,000 a year “greedy”.
