EU Disinformation Campaign Targets Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict

• •The EU's DARE Project is actively countering Russian disinformation in Ukraine.
• •Key narratives include accusations against the EU and false claims about Ukrainian refugees.
• •The disinformation campaign targets Ukrainian trust in EU integration efforts.

The Regional EU Disinformation Resilience-related Network of Journalists, supported by the EU-funded DARE Project, is actively monitoring and debunking Russian propaganda narratives in Ukraine. Recent investigations revealed that from December 2024 to February 2025, pro-Kremlin disinformation aimed to undermine trust in EU-Ukraine relations, portraying the EU as a source of conflict and accusing it of territorial division plans regarding Ukraine. Key narratives included claims of Ukrainian refugees being mistreated in Europe and the EU's alleged role in prolonging the war. The campaign leverages social media platforms, particularly Telegram, to disseminate false information and demoralize the Ukrainian populace. The ongoing efforts highlight a coordinated disinformation strategy that poses a significant threat to Ukraine's European integration processes.
