DISINFO: The Three Seas Initiative is NATO’s development aimed against both Russia and Western Europe
SUMMARY
The participation of Bulgaria in the Three Seas Initiative will be damaging to this country. It is difficult to question possible economic benefits coming from this project, but in its nature, this union is anti-Russian and anti-German. The international media present this initiative as aimed to separate Russia from Western Europe (Germany and France).
Increasing propaganda of the economic benefits coming from this initiative shows that in future, Bulgaria will have certain military and geopolitical obligations, which will be harmful to this country. It will be deadly for Bulgaria to join any anti-Russian military-political alliance as Russia is able to defend its geopolitical interests with both peaceful and violent tools.
In reality, the Three Seas Initiative is the next stage in NATO's development – it is aimed against both Russia and Western Europe. The Three Seas Initiative is a project reminding Germany and France about the fact that someone else makes geopolitical decisions in their place.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about regional organisations in Central and Eastern Europe – this narrative presents such organisations as Eastern Partnership and the Three Seas Initiative as anti-Russian projects managed by the USA.
The Three Seas Initiative is a forum of 12 countries from Central and Eastern Europe launched in 2015. The main goal of this Initiative is to promote better connectivity among the Member States, with a particular focus on infrastructure and energy. The main projects discussed at the forums of the Three Seas Initiative are the Via Carpathia, Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, Via Baltica, Rail Baltica and the LNG infrastructure in Poland and Croatia.
