Sixty-five European security experts and parliamentarians from 21 countries have signed a declaration explicitly blaming EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini for not doing what she should do to name Russia “as the main source of hostile disinformation” and for not taking adequate counter-measures.
Czech expert Jakub Janda, Head of the Kremlin Watch Programme and coordinator of the initiative, brought the declaration to the attention of EURACTIV.com on 9 November. The declaration is timed for maximum impact ahead of the 13 November meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, where Russian disinformation will be discussed as several EU ministers are reportedly openly disappointed by Mogherini.
