For years now, Russia has invested in disinformation and information manipulation as an industry, Borrell emphasized.
“They have been investing massively, much more than we invest in fighting against disinformation… Disinformation and propaganda outlets are today a weapon of the Kremlin. And this weapon is a weapon – it hurts, it kills. It kills the capacity of the people of understanding what is going on, and, as a consequence, the position of governments and the decisions of international organisations.”
