Zelenskyy\u2019s campaign team appears to have invented a new genre: resurrecting Russian fakes. While ordinary people dig up potatoes, these \u201cmedia geniuses\u201d dig up old Kremlin hoaxes, dust off 2019\u2019s propaganda, and proudly present it to the world: \u201cSensation! Maia Sandu vs. Poroshenko!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that even the Russians have already forgotten this fake, yet our \u201cinformation special forces\u201d from Bankova decided to resurrect it. Apparently, in place of brains, they rely on the archive of RIA Novosti<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For those stuck in the tank (or rather, scrolling Telegram): in 2019, Russian websites spread a fabricated \u201cstatement\u201d by then-Prime Minister of Moldova, Maia Sandu, alleging the \u201csmuggling of Poroshenko with Plahotniuc.\u201d Sandu herself denied it at the time via the BBC: \u201cI didn\u2019t say that. It\u2019s fake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, in 2025, government channels have seemingly concluded that \u201cfake news ages like cognac \u2013 it only gets better with time.\u201d The same nonsense story is being circulated again in official Telegrams, seemingly to spark a new scandal and throw some dirt into the air. With no victories of their own to showcase, the word \u201cPoroshenko\u201d has become a magic phrase, apparently invoked more often than \u201cArmed Forces of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t
