Russia has launched a propaganda campaign in Europe under the slogan “Russia is not my enemy.” Stickers with this message have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy. — Ukrinform.

Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

[…]

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

[…]

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

[…]

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

    Russia will be a candidate for EU membership

    Don’t think that will ever happen. At least while they still have large population and local production. Same with Turkiye.

      Türkiye is a candidate. The process is frozen though because of their idiotic president.

      But the EU should reform itself a bit before admitting new members, especially such large ones.

        That’s a mistake as well. Turkey still occupies half of cypruss which is part of EU. I wouldn’t want an occupier of the EU to become part of it.

          I wouldn’t want an occupier of the EU to become part of it.

          Well, majority of the western world that EU is part of is still bowing down to the occupier (and now genocider) that is Israel. So clearly there’s room.

        Cyprus will never, ever let Turkey ascend to the EU while they continue to illegally occupy 1/3 of Cyprus.

        Ascension votes must be unanimous. I don’t know why anyone at any time thought Turkey might join the EU.

        To me, is better if Turkye doesn’t enter the EU, because if enters it will became another Troya’s horse as how U.K was
