We counter Kremlin information warfare, one claim at a time | Not official EU position

Brussels
The EU has sanctioned former RT France chief Xenia Fedorova over her role in Russian influence operations. After RT was suspended in the EU, Fedorova found new platforms in France for familiar Kremlin narratives. No place for Kremlin influence operations in Europe — whatever platform they use.

Moscow calls its illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine ‘a response to threats from the West’.   At the UN, President Zelenskyy stated Russia is now using citizens from 47 countries to fight it.   Russia’s war began with a false story about who threatened whom. Its consequences now reach citizens across continents.

For the fifth year running, Putin has a familiar story to tell: Russia is under pressure, Russia is being sanctioned, Russia is the victim of an unfair West.   What is missing from the story is why those sanctions appeared in the first place: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 60 drones and missiles have violated Moldova’s airspace, with 23 crashing in its territory.

Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv overnight, killing two people and injuring six, damaging homes, medical facilities, and civilian buildings.   Russia’s rhetoric is about the danger it supposedly faces. Kyiv’s reality is the danger Russia poses across the border.

Last year alone, the Kremlin rejected seven of those ceasefire and negotiation proposals. Kremlin propagandists continue to portray themselves as concerned about the suffering and devastation in Ukraine while conveniently omitting to name Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion as the cause.

Russia invaded a sovereign country and brought its war to millions of Ukrainian civilians. The impact reaches global food security and the international order. Ukraine’s resistance begins with one basic right: self-defence.
