DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: EU army can be sent to suppress new 'Brexits'

SUMMARY

EU army may be sent to suppress new Brexits. Units of the unified army of the European Union can be used against those regions whose residents want to separate from the EU, just as the British are going to do.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the possible European army. There is no EU army and defence remains exclusively a matter for member states. Read more about the EU army myth here. The European Union is founded on the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. In the case of Brexit, EU is holding negotiations with the UK. Read more about latest developments here.
