Election to the European Parliament will be held on June 6-9 amid fear of disinformation by Russia
BRUSSELS – The European Union's disinformation-busting team last month debunked a Russian-language video on YouTube that said citizens were fleeing dictatorship in EU member Poland and seeking refuge in Belarus, a close ally of Moscow.
Russia is widely accused of having waged disinformation campaigns targeting elections in the United States, Europe and Britain over the last decade although Moscow had denied it uses disinformation to influence public opinion. "We’ve seen evidence to suggest that even the people conducting the operations can struggle to understand if they are having an impact."
Most, though not all, EU countries do wage their own fight against disinformation but resources vary and experts say the European effort is disjointed. France's European affairs minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, told newspaper Ouest France in April that his country was "pounded" by Russian disinformation.
