Russia is ramping up its disinformation campaign in Armenia. European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, stated this in her opening remarks for the Extraordinary Meeting and Exchange of Views with the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs.

“At the same time, we also see that the closer a country gets to the European Union, the greater the pressure from malign foreign influence. Russia and its proxies are ramping up disinformation campaigns, including in Armenia ahead of next year's election. Moldova was this year’s primary target, but also the best proof that this challenge can be overcome,” the EU foreign policy chief said.
