The Ministry of National Defense in Bucharest has signaled the emergence of misinformation regarding the so-called presence of the Romanian military in training activities in the Republic of Moldova, which appeared on Telegram channels affiliated with Russian propaganda.

According to the quoted source, one of the video materials included in these posts shows a column of military vehicles of the Romanian Army, which are falsely stated to be either returning from or heading to the Republic of Moldova.

" In fact, in the images, a column of military equipment of the 15th Mechanized Brigade "High Bridge" from Iasi is captured, returning from the multinational exercise "ZIMBRUL 22", held between October 3-12 in the Secondary Training Center for "Smârdan" fight, Galati county. Romanian, American and Polish soldiers participated in the exercise, which was planned a year before.", explained the Ministry of National Defense of Romania.
