How does Russia's disinformation spread in Europe? | DW News

The French government recently accused Russia of involvement in an online information manipulation campaign which included fake websites set up to imitate newspapers and spread false news about the war in Ukraine.

DW sat down with Lutz Güllner, the head of the EU’s disinformation tracking unit in the bloc’s external action service, to ask him how disinformation works, where it’s working, and how to spot it.
