Africa is becoming a launchpad for Russian influence operations aimed at Europe. Journalist Philip Obaji laid out the evidence before MEPs: disinformation campaigns, manipulated migration routes, and networks that now target elections on both continents.

Europe's whack-a-mole continues, as only a month after disposing of Putin's Hungarian puppet Orban, the Bulgarian government is taken over by pro-Russian trash - immediately cutting off weapons assistance to Ukraine.
Despite Bulgaria still itself being mired in the decades long recovery process from Russian occupation, it's fairly easy for Russian money to purchase the foreign policy of any European nation.

Russian independent outlet Meduza, citing an employee of a major Kremlin-friendly media organisation, reported that Russia’s presidential administration had instructed state-run and pro-government media to present the election results as a ‘loss’ for Pashinyan, specifically using that wording.

The Kremlin’s long-running disinformation campaign portraying Ukraine as a centre of weapons smuggling continues. The narrative is as heavy on repetition as it is light on evidence, which remains missing to this day.

Does the Rybar image gallery reveal the "new" restmedia[.]st?
Among the images on the Rybar image gallery I discovered earlier this week, the below images are saved. Some of them appear to be used on this X account.
The 'Defenders of Free Speech' account claims to have been created in January 2024, however its first post was in March 2026 when it also became verified and changed username. Despite the location being the United States, it is connected to X via a Korean Android App.
@DFSbase, why are your images in the Rybar image gallery?

🤯 PM Viktor Orbán directly orchestrated the arrest of the assets of a Ukrainian bank, per Telex.
The raid was reportedly political revenge against Ukraine for a disruption in oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline, with Orbán personally monitoring the operation.

Likely the latest Storm-1516 disinformation campaign is targeting Armenia and Ukraine. The campaign promotes a false narrative that Ukraine will set up "drone bases" in Armenia, which allegedly will be used for attacks against Iran

Here is a reminder of the report from @DFRLab from last September which explains why these findings could be significant.

I've recently received several DNS alerts about restmedia.st, which was supposedly shut down earlier this year. I had a look at the site and multiple images failed to load. The network interface is sending requests to Rybar.ru!

Grabbing him by the “Beard”: The Insider identifies the FSB, GRU, and SVR agents Russia sent to Armenia to take on PM Nikol Pashinyan
After failing to influence elections in Moldova and Hungary, the Kremlin is now focused on Armenia and its June 7 vote.

Viktor Orbán is gone, Russian influence and meddling in Central Europe is not. This week’s Goulash newsletter is thick with evidence of that, including our leading scoop on extremely worrying signals from the Kremlin. @VSquare_Project

APPLEBAUM: Russia's war in Ukraine is sometimes described, including recently by American Vice President, as if it were nothing more than territorial dispute, kind of scuffle over lines on map.
But when Russia denies that Ukraine is a real nation, builds concentration camps on Ukrainian territory, bans Ukrainian language and systematically arrests mayors, teachers, journalists, and priests, then Russia is also attacking Europe that was built after 1945, Europe whose borders are not supposed to be changed by force.
Russia invaded Ukraine not only to destroy Ukraine but also to prove that treaties are meaningless, alliances are weak, and brute force still decides fate of nations.
By waging imperial war of conquest, Russia seeks to undermine Europe's post-imperial order.

In Vienna, I took time to explain to diplomats, human rights campaigners, and civil society leaders how Russia’s African troll armies don’t just stir trouble locally but flood social media and diaspora channels with coordinated narratives designed to hit Europe where it hurts.

The UK just sanctioned another 49 individuals who work for the Social Design Agency (SDA), including writers, translators, and video makers of Kremlin #propaganda. The SDA is tasked and funded by the Kremlin, and almost certainly the Russian Presidential administration. 1/

Hopefully the calling out of individuals may prompt them to consider their future prospects if they continue to serve their Kremlin masters. 7/End
