Old NATO anniversary video falsely presented as new war propaganda
A NATO video circulating online has been falsely framed as new propaganda preparing the public for war with Russia. France 24 says NATO published the footage in July 2024 for its 75th anniversary and that its original context was removed.
A NATO video circulating online is being falsely described as new “war propaganda” aimed at preparing the public for an imminent conflict with Russia, France 24 reports. The footage is not new. NATO published it in July 2024 to mark the alliance’s 75th anniversary, according to the report.
Users sharing the clip have stripped away that original context while presenting it as a current promotional message. The false framing comes as European leaders warn of growing Russian hybrid threats. Those concerns include alleged drone, cyber and sabotage activity, although the supplied material does not provide details of individual incidents.
France 24’s Vedika Bahl examines the claim in a Truth or Fake report. The available facts show that the video’s date and stated purpose contradict the suggestion that it was recently produced to prepare audiences for an imminent war.
