DISINFO: The EU does not have a future

SUMMARY

Does the European Union have a future? This Tower of Babel has only one future — exactly as it was described in the Bible. Everything will fall apart, inevitably, into nation-states, national languages, and national interests. This is precisely what the globalists in no way want to allow.

RESPONSE

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the EU's alleged imminent collapse. For more context, see our analysis: Key Narratives in Pro-Kremlin Disinformation Part 4: ‘The Imminent Collapse’.

The EU remains a significant global actor with 27 member states, a combined GDP of over $16 trillion, and a population of over 447 million people. The EU's policies, including those related to climate change and migration, are designed to address complex global challenges and are supported by a majority of its citizens.

The EU was created to foster economic cooperation, peace, and shared values among its member states, respecting their diverse cultures and histories. The EU's policies aim to create a sustainable future and promote economic growth, and member states retain significant sovereignty while benefiting from collective action.

According to the latest Eurobarometer survey released on May 28, 52% the Europeans trust the EU, the highest level of trust since 18 years. Three quarters of respondents (75%) - the highest level in more than two decades - say they feel they are citizens of the EU. In addition, more than six in ten EU citizens (62%) are also optimistic about the future of the EU.

Moreover, in the current geopolitical context, more than 8 in 10 Europeans would like to see a stronger and more assertive EU through a common defence and security policy, while peace remains the value that best represents the EU.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
