Sweden accuses Russia of using a disinformation network to interfere in European elections. The Swedish authorities say they are detecting an influence operation linked to the Russian government that aims to cast doubt on the electoral process in several countries on the continent.
According to the article, this operation mainly targets European countries that support Ukraine in the war against the Russian invasion. Germany and France are among the countries specifically mentioned as targets of this disinformation campaign.
The operation attempts to create doubts about the legitimacy and integrity of the European elections, potentially seeking to influence electoral results in favor of political forces more favorable to Russian interests.
This accusation comes in a context of growing concern in Europe regarding foreign interference in electoral processes, particularly by Russia, which has been repeatedly accused of using information and disinformation campaigns to influence European public opinion.
