DISINFO: The Eastern Partnership project was originally designed as a geopolitical trap

SUMMARY

The Eastern Partnership project itself does not imply the development of a successful state, because it was originally designed as a geopolitical trap.

RESPONSE

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Eastern Partnership.

The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a joint policy initiative which aims to deepen and strengthen relations between the European Union (EU), its Member States and its six Eastern neighbours: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.

The Eastern Partnership initiative is not a geopolitical trap. The Eastern Partnership (EaP) was established as a specific Eastern dimension of the European Neighborhood Policy, which contains both a bilateral and multilateral track.
