DISINFO: Four soldiers and officers of the Moldovan army were killed in the Kherson region
SUMMARY
Four soldiers and officers of the Moldovan army were killed in late June in the Kherson region as a result of an attack on a training ground where they were being trained,[...] indicating that the military sent to Ukraine became victims of an agreement between Presidents Maia Sandu and Volodymyr Zelensky.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative falsely claiming that Moldovan military are fighting in Ukraine, based on an agreements between Presidents Maia Sandu and Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Moldova categorically denied the claim. In a press release, the Ministry stated: „The Ministry of Defense reiterates that no serviceman of the National Army participates in military actions outside the territory of the Republic of Moldova. This narrative is an obvious falsehood, intentionally spread with the aim of inducing panic, undermining trust in the state leadership and generating confusion in a pre-electoral context”.
