Summary/Abstract: The complicated period the states are facing, caused by the onset of the SARSCoV-2 pandemic, has produced changes in the behaviour of some countries, while others have kept their preferences for old practices. The Russian Federation is among those that have identified in recent developments on the world stage the opportunity to exploit the vulnerabilities its targets face, the aim being to obtain strategic advantages. Thus, from the campaign entitled “From Russia with Love” to the disinformation campaign, the European Union is in Moscow’s attention, which through its actions tries to create instability within the EU and to discredit the organisation through actions meant to make it look like a failed project.
