Summary/Abstract: Russia is actively conducting disinformation campaigns in the EU regarding its war in Ukraine, which may weaken the support for the latter country in some Member States in the long run. Although the EU is trying to counteract the messages, the challenges included the circumvention of sanctions by Russian media and the limited possibilities of controlling the activities of internet platforms. For Poland, it is important to further strengthen the EU’s ability to counter disinformation by, for example, expanding the East Strat-Com monitoring cell.
