DISINFO: Russia never meddles in the internal affairs of other countries
SUMMARY
Russia never meddles in internal affairs of its neighbours, or more generally any other country.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying the meddling in internal affairs of neighbouring countries and all countries in general.
The interference of Russia in internal affairs of ex-soviet countries is a long tradition that even ended sometimes in frozen armed conflicts.
Russia also has a track record of meddling in democratic processes such as elections, including in those of western countries. Independent research, media investigations and parliamentary inquiries have uncovered evidence linking Russian state actors with interference in various electoral processes, including the 2016 Brexit vote, the 2017 French Presidential elections, the 2017 German Parliamentary elections, the 2016 constitutional referendum in Italy and the Dutch referendum on the EU’s Association Agreement with Ukraine.
Electoral interference by Russia has been extensively documented in numerous countries around the world.
