NATO anniversary video falsely reframed online as Russian war propaganda

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 06:40 · 1 min read

A NATO video published in July 2024 to mark the alliance's 75th anniversary is being widely misrepresented online as freshly produced propaganda intended to prepare the public for imminent war with Russia. The footage, stripped of its original context, has been shared by pro-Kremlin accounts, the Russian embassy in the Netherlands, and US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, with some posts drawing millions of views. The false framing emerges amid genuine tensions: European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, have issued recent warnings about escalating Russian hybrid activity — including alleged drone strikes, cyberattacks, and sabotage — targeting NATO member states.
