Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced on Friday an investigation into suspected Russian interference in Europe-wide elections in June, saying that his country’s intelligence service has confirmed the existence of a network trying to undermine support for Ukraine.
Belgian intelligence services have confirmed the existence of pro-Russian interference networks with activities in several European countries and also here in Belgium, De Croo told reporters in Brussels.
According to intelligence service, the objectives of Moscow are very clear, De Croo said. The objective is to help elect more pro-Russian candidates to the European Parliament and to reinforce a certain pro-Russian narrative in that institution, he added.
