No EU posters: Prikhodko planned a concert in Moldova, which caused a scandal due to Russia's actions (photos)
Local police are not sure that the Ukrainian was intended to damage the referendum on European integration. At the same time, the abbreviation used was found on resources on social networks, which were blocked through the special operation of special services of the Russian Federation. The New York Times told about the details of the events in Moldova. The journalists spoke with the Chief of the National Police of Moldova Viourel Chernutian.
He reported the special operation of the Russian Federation from the disruption of the vote on the entry of Moldova to the EU, which is due to take place on October 20. According to him, on the streets appeared, among other things, posters, which wrote the letters of Nu EC, painted in the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag. The posters were placed at public transport stops and aimed to misinform the Moldovan and damage the entry into the European Union.
The police officer assured that probably the singer whose face was on the posters is not involved in the Russian campaign. "The posters had nothing to do with the singer. It was part of a major psychological operation aimed at ripping a referendum," the journalists of the official of the official replied. The NYT portal did not find photos that were probably spoken by Chernautian. However, the event was explored in the DFRLAB Digital Forensic Laboratory.
Analysts have posted a photo of posters that correspond to the description of the police. DFRLAB analysts explained that they found on social networks of Istagram and Facebook page Anastasia Prikhodko la chișin&Iu on a concert. On the page - a billboard and text that the concert had to take place on October 6, but will not take place because of the position of Moldova's authorities.
The DFRLAB investigation found out that the announcements appeared on the streets of the Moldovan cities in September 2024. Thereafter, the pro-Russian Telegram-channels explained that the name of the Nu EC concert is a call for Moldova's inability to the EU. Analysts have found several dubious features: inaccurate concert place, various portals for ticket selling and more. In addition, communities with the same phrase appeared on Facebook, which is actually just a set of letters.
It is finally summarized that posters are a really misinformation campaign of the Russian Federation, which was reacted by social networks: Telegram and Facebook have deleted groups that spread such narratives. On September 28, the press service of Anastasia Prikhodko responded to problems with the concert and posters. The communicators explained the Point portal that the tour was really planned, but then canceled - the reasons promised to report later.
The official account of Prikhodko has no data on touring in Moldova, which came on a date on the billboard. Instead, there is a message about the continuation of the concert tour "loved" the district centers of Ukraine - from October 11 to October 23. The singer's Tiktok also has no comment on the incident. However, there you can find Anastasia's critical comments on a referendum among Ukrainian citizens about joining the EU.
One of the fresh videos is a recording where President Vladimir Zelensky's voice is heard about the difficult situation in the war and the need for struggle, and the singer, meanwhile, cleans the crayfish melancholy. It should be noted that on August 14, Anastasia Prikhodko responded to the remarks about what her husband Alexander is not on the front.
