Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo has said that Brussels will investigate possible Russian meddling in the upcoming European Parliament elections.
De Croo's announcement on Friday comes after the country's intelligence service confirmed the existence of alleged "pro-Russian interference networks," which he claimed had been planning to undermine support for Ukraine.
The threat of Russian interference in the upcoming EU election is extremely worrying and must be taken seriously by the Belgian government as well as the rest of the EU. Russia is working its hardest to weaken EU support for Ukraine and maliciously serve its interests by tampering with the bloc's democratic process.
Russia isn't attempting to meddle in the European Parliament elections, and to suggest otherwise is Western propaganda. There are organic political movements within European countries to scale back on support for Ukraine. The fact that support for Ukraine is wavering and pro-Russia candidates are becoming more popular isn't evidence of Russian interference.
There's a 25% chance that Ukraine will join the EU before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
