    Russia and China are defaming NATO over the Coronavirus

    NATO-sjefen: Russland og Kina sprer falske covid-19-nyheter – VG

    The Norwegian media reports the above quickly because the NATO chief is a former prime minister of Norway. I don't know how well a google translation works for you but I think it's worth reading.

    Thanks Google:

    During Easter, NATO compiled a list of "Russia's top five myths" about NATO and the covid-19 pandemic.

    Stoltenberg tells VG that NATO needs to respond to fake news:

    - We have seen examples from both state and non-state actors, supported by Russia and China, that spread misinformation about the origin of the virus, that it should be created by the United States and other NATO countries, and that it should be spread deliberately, The NATO commander in a telephone interview with VG and NTB from Brussels on Tuesday afternoon.

    On Wednesday, Stoltenberg "summoned" NATO's defense ministers to an extraordinary video link meeting. The agenda contains one point, according to Stoltenberg: The Corona crisis.

    Norway's defense minister, Frank Bakke-Jensen (H), has also come out and warned against the spread of fake news and disinformation during the corona crisis.

    The Alliance is now trying to reverse the spread of these stories:

    The virus is breaking down the NATO alliance: Wrong, NATO answers. Although single soldiers are infected, the preparedness of the defense alliance is maintained.

    NATO is unable to provide the member states with help to fight the virus. Wrong again, NATO answers. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and most recently Norway have benefited from assistance from the alliance or other member states via NATO.

    Covid-19 is a biological weapon developed by the United States and NATO. NATO backs the WHO, the World Health Organization, and responds that the virus occurs naturally in animals, but was unknown until the first infection cases were discovered in Wuhan, China, in December.

    Dangerous errors
    - There has also been misinformation about how to best fight the virus, Stoltenberg adds.

    - This type of spread of errors is dangerous, partly because they reduce our ability to stand together in the fight against corona, and partly because wrong decisions can be made about how to fight the virus. This is meant to divide and weaken us, and it is important that we respond, says Stoltenberg.
