Summary/Abstract: Cyberattacks coupled with online disinformation campaigns are an increasing threat in Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries, while their capacities to counter it are limited. At the forthcoming EaP summit in 2021, the EU could offer a new cybersecurity package for its partners. The EU might deepen political cooperation with associated countries through cyber dialogues and develop aid programmes for the protection of critical infrastructure and enhanced interagency cooperation. Regionally, the EU could better counter disinformation by strengthening East StratCom and increasing support for media literacy and critical thinking among youth.
