The dubious portal with content in the Albanian language "news426media.com" has published today (October 11) an article titled "Great Britain 'armors' Albania and Kosovo/ Russian threat, British minister: Send weapons to the Western Balkans too!".
After verifying the facts presented in this article, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title is fabricated and does not correspond to the content, while the news is old, published in April.
The content includes the statement of former British Foreign Secretary, currently Prime Minister, Liz Truss (see here), who at the time stated that her country and Western allies, in addition to Ukraine, should also focus on other countries that may be at risk from Russia, including the Western Balkans.
However, in this statement, Truss did not specifically mention Albania and Kosovo, as claimed in the title.
