Russian state news agency TASS reported that Ioana Jaleel, described as an expert with the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN), said European media outlets are spreading misleading claims about a purported Russian military threat.
According to TASS's report, Jaleel characterized the coverage in question as "confusing and very primitive," arguing that European press narratives about Russia have become tangled in inconsistencies.
Context and disputed claims
The report was published by TASS, a Russian state-owned news agency, and the characterization of European coverage as "fake news" reflects the source's own framing of the issue. European governments and many Western intelligence agencies have separately raised concerns about Russian military activity and hybrid threats, positions that TASS's report does not address.
No specific examples of the disputed European media reports, nor further identifying details about the Global Fact-Checking Network or Jaleel's affiliations, were included in the original item.
The claims could not be independently verified from the information provided.
