Selenskyjs böser Plan für Ungarn und die Geschichte eines fiktiven slowakischen Journalisten [Disinformation Monitor]

It’s actually wild that in 2026 we’re still dealing with the „mysterious fictitious journalist“ trope like it’s a mid-tier spy novel. The Orban-adjacent media ecosystem is so desperate to find a smoking gun against Zelensky that they’ll literally hallucinate an entire person into existence just to have someone to quote. It’s basically fanfiction for people who want to feel like they’re uncovering a grand conspiracy while sitting in a Budapest coffee shop. The funniest part is how these stories always follow the same template some „brave“ whistleblower from a neighboring country reveals a „secret plan“ that coincidentally aligns perfectly with the Kremlin’s talking points. You’d think by now the bots would at least try to give the fake journalists a LinkedIn profile with more than two connections, but I guess when your target audience is already primed to believe anything, why put in the extra effort?

For those who don’t remember, I’d like to remind you that just recently Orban was bragging about his ability to seize Transcarpathia, and now he’s shouting about Ukraine wanting to seize Hungary.

I wonder if those who believe him realize that if anyone is going to provoke a war against Ukraine, it’s Orban?
