Germany is the main focus of Russian disinformation in the European Union, the bloc’s diplomatic service revealed on Tuesday.
A new report found targeted campaigns both at the political level and through media close to the Kremlin.
The EUvsDisinfo database found that since late 2015, more than 700 cases of Russian disinformation have been collected on Germany.
Russian media and politicians have used news stories, particularly about Russian children, to accuse the German authorities of systematically suppressing Russians in Germany.
Similar negative news stories about Germany have been omitted from the German-language versions of the same Russian media.
