“Ukraine’s fight for freedom does not only concern Europeans, it concerns all people globally. It is a fight in defense of international law and fundamental values”
The Kremlin uses information manipulation as a crucial instrument in the war with Ukraine, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell wrote in his blog.
“At the time when war has returned to Europe, when Ukraine counts tens of thousands of victims and millions of refugees, we do all we can to help Ukraine defend itself and regain its full sovereignty. Ukraine’s fight for freedom does not only concern Europeans; it concerns all people globally. It is a fight in defense of international law and fundamental values that all countries have signed up to in the Charter of the United Nations,” Borrell wrote.
He noted that Putin did not only start the war, but he also created a powerful industry of manipulation to prevent people from understanding what is really happening, to make them doubt everything and to shift the blame.
“Putin’s bombs kill people in Ukraine while his information manipulation industry attacks the minds of people in Russia and globally,” Borrell added.
