DISINFO: Нет никаких доказательств вмешательства России в выборы на Западе.
СВОДКА
Нет никаких доказательств вмешательства России в выборы на Западе. Это практически традиция: как только выборы проходят где-либо, предпочтительно в западных странах, слухи о возможном российском влиянии начинают распространяться. В преддверии предстоящих выборов в Европейский парламент эта проблема также беспокоит ответственных лиц в странах ЕС. Тем не менее, нет никаких указаний на такую деятельность со стороны России.

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that allegations of Russian interference in electoral processes in the EU and in the West are spread by European elites in order to divert attention from the real problems of EU countries. Disinformation produced and/or spread by Russian sources has been reported in the context of several elections and referenda in the EU, as noted in the EU's action plan against disinformation. Ahead of the European elections 2019, Microsoft registered cyberattacks targeting think tanks and non-profit organisations working on topics related to democracy, electoral integrity, and public policy and that are often in contact with government officials. Microsoft continues to investigate the sources of these attacks, but is confident that many of them originated from a group called Strontium, also known as APT 28 or Fancy Bear – which is believed to be associated with Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU.

Moreover, numerous investigations have provided convincing evidence of Russian interference in the Brexit referendum and in elections across Europe and in the US - see more information here, here and here.
