Fake AfD ballot-destruction video linked to Russian GRU disinformation op

A video purporting to show destruction of AfD ballots in Saxony-Anhalt's Landtag election circulated on X; analysts flag it as fabricated and attribute it to a GRU-directed disinformation campaign. The incident is part of a pattern of Russian election interference targeting German state elections, though attribution is based on open-source analysis and not yet independently confirmed.
