Russia introduces new laws to jail critics, but denies it holds any political prisoners

Every year on 30 October, the world marks the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions. In Russia, people are being imprisoned on charges that rights groups say are false, yet the authorities refuse to recognise that political prisoners exist. The Kremlin brands them as criminals or even terrorists. Instead, it uses the term “political prisoner” extensively in relation to Ukraine, claiming that Kyiv jails people for their political views or pro-Russian stance.

Russia’s fake nuclear drills and real failure in Mali

Russia peddles false claims of Polish and French nuclear drills, recycling the narrative of a “threatening NATO” to mask Russia’s own aggression; the EU’s €90 billion Ukraine loan is miscast as a “death machine” and austerity driver, distorting its actual economic and defence support role; and unfounded allegations of Western involvement in Mali attacks deflect from Russia’s own failing role in the region.

Disinformation Review: EU Sanctions and the Kremlin’s Recycled Narratives

The EU has imposed sanctions on Euromore and Pravfond for influence operations targeting European audiences. Pro-Kremlin disinformation recasts Ukraine as a terrorist and NATO as an aggressor, recycling debunked claims (e.g. “biolabs”, secret infrastructure). False narratives about the Bucha massacre persist, shifting from denial to elaborate conspiracy theories to deflect blame.

What’s new in the FIMI Galaxy?

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) has evolved into a dense and interconnected ecosystem of actors, infrastructures and narratives operating across digital platforms and geopolitical contexts. The concept of the “FIMI Galaxy”, part of the recently published 4th EEAS Report on FIMI Threats, captures this systemic reality. It exposes the complex architecture behind influence operations and provides a strategic tool for understanding and countering them.

How Russia lies about the war in the Middle East

This week, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service rehashed old claims that European countries were planning to give Ukraine a nuclear weapon. FIMI narratives accused Ukraine and the United Kingdom of planning pipeline sabotages.  And lastly, unfounded claims were spread about the Gulf states asking Russia to become the guarantor of peace in the Middle East, as no other country could do it.

Russia’s quest for disinformation gold

Over the past week, pro-Kremlin FIMI outlets smeared Ukrainian athletes at the Olympics, declared France on the road to authoritarianism, and tried to deflect attention from a report on Navalny’s poisoning by pointing to the Epstein files. And that was just the beginning.
