From falsely linking Estonia’s president Alar Karis to Jeffrey Epstein to a disinformation campaign about a Ukrainian soldier killing three NATO servicemen — Kremlin-linked false information campaigns that circulated ahead of and during elections in Latvia and Estonia were aimed at creating mistrust and confusion among the voters, according to a London-based threat intelligence company Refute report published on Tuesday.
“Russia is deploying disinformation as a deliberate instrument designed to disorient citizens, shape public debate and deepen divisions ahead of elections,” said Tom Garnett, Co-founder and CEO of Refute.
