⚡️The Russian bot network "Matryoshka" has launched a disinformation campaign ahead of the elections in Spain, using forgeries of well-known Western media, according to the anonymous group of researchers and analysts AntiBot4Navalny.
In fake videos and fabricated covers of Euronews, Reuters, El País, France 24, and French publications, support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are blamed for worsening the economic situation in Europe.
