Russia is expanding its disinformation techniques by manipulating AI systems to flood the internet with misleading content, a tactic known as “LLM grooming.” This strategy aims to influence how AI tools generate information, making false narratives appear credible and eroding trust in digital sources.
The Kremlin’s planners prepared for their full-scale invasion of Ukraine, building up currency reserves and later boosting growth through military spending. But the Russian economy is beginning to show signs of weakness as Moscow’s illegal war continues.
On 4 and 5 October, Czech voters went to the polls to elect a new parliament. And the Kremlin once again saw an opportunity to interfere in other countries’ democratic processes.
On 28 September, President Maia Sandu and the pro-EU Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) scored a landslide victory in the Moldovan parliamentary elections. The PAS won more than 50 per cent of the vote, giving the party control of the parliament and hence giving Moldova a firm pro-EU orientation. The victory came despite a massive pro-Russian FIMI campaign that targeted Sandu and the PAS.
Russia is using influencers to lure young African women with promises of study and work abroad. Instead it funnels them into drone factories that feed Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The United Nations stands as a symbol of the shared hope for a better, more unified world. Russia’s abductions of Ukrainian children are an insult to that vision. The Kremlin may lie, but the world knows the truth.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
