A fake Euronews-style article and website claiming that Hungary's opposition leader Péter Magyar insulted Donald Trump is circulating online as part of a wider campaign researchers have linked to Storm-1516, a Russian disinformation operation.
The article, which utilises a real byline and appeared on a fake Euronews website that has since been taken down, claims that Magyar delivered a blistering critique of Trump at a campaign rally.
Among other false claims, the article says Magyar called Trump a "senile grandpa" and promised to undo "key agreements" made with the US, should Magyar win parliamentary elections in Hungary scheduled on 12 April.
The article's contents are fabricated and the website it appeared on have no connection to Euronews.
A video report that repeats the claim using Euronews' branding is also circulating on social media. The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, found examples of this clip circulating since Monday evening, some with thousands of views.
The videos were posted by accounts with similar captions in quick succession, implying they are part of a coordinated campaign. The accounts that posted the clip were largely anonymised, with X's location tool showing they are based in the US and Africa.
