Russian propagandists have disseminated fake Lego sets suggesting that Moldovan soldiers are helping Ukraine, part of a disinformation campaign ahead of the elections.

In the context of the crucial parliamentary elections in Moldova, Russian propagandists have launched a disinformation campaign, broadcasting images of fake Lego sets depicting the Moldovan army collaborating with Ukraine. This aims to influence votes in favor of pro-Russian forces. President Maia Sandu warned that Moscow is using propaganda and artificial intelligence to undermine the country's pro-European direction. Claims related to these Lego sets are completely false, and the mentioned designer did not create such a project. Additionally, propagandists fabricated images of a Lego line called 'mourning bricks', which suggest a cynical manipulation of emotions.
