Belgium's Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, announced that the country will launch an investigation into suspected Russian interference in the upcoming European Parliament elections. This decision comes after Belgian intelligence services uncovered 'pro-Russian interference networks' aiming to influence the election outcomes.
According to De Croo, Moscow's objective is to support the election of more pro-Russian candidates to the European Parliament with the intention of weakening the EU's backing for Ukraine. Recent findings by Czech authorities revealed a 'pro-Russian influence operation in Europe,' which involved espionage and attempts to sway EU members of parliament to promote a 'Russian agenda.'
