Fake news circulating about Finland's annexation of Russian territories has sparked widespread discussions on social media. These reports claimed that Finland was incorporating territories after elections held in various Russian cities. However, these claims have been proven false.
Redaksiya reports that, according to information published by "Lead Stories," the news about the cities of Vyborg, Petrozavodsk, and Murmansk leaving Russia to join Finland is a fabrication. This fake news was accompanied by an image generated by artificial intelligence, created by "unidentified militants," and a map of "Greater Finland."
The news is a distorted version of an idea from the early 1900s regarding the expansion of Finland's borders. The author of the news later admitted that it was not true and expressed surprise that people believed it.
