#Latvia wants to improve the enforcement of #EU sanctions against #Russia by deploying the tools it’s used to stamp out illicit financing.
The EU’s Baltic members have been among the most aggressive in criticizing Vladimir #Putin’s invasion of #Ukraine. But they’ve struggled to police a flow of trade from the rest of the bloc to countries in central #Asia — with goods ultimately ending up in Russia to feed the #Kremlin’s war machine.
MOSCOW, April 4 (Reuters) - Russia and NATO are now in "direct confrontation", the Kremlin said as the U.S.-led alliance marked its 75th anniversary on Thursday.
Redirecting rage, reducing risk. Political scientist Kirill Shamiev on what the Kremlin stands to gain by blaming Ukraine for the Moscow terrorist attack
A joint investigation by 60 Minutes, the Insider, and Der Spiegel strongly suggests that the #Kremlin has waged a sustained kinetic campaign directly targeting #US government personnel both in the US and internationally for a decade, with the likely objective of physically incapacitating US government personnel.
@igorshusko#Czech counterintelligence busting traitors working for the #Kremlin throughout Western nations is just the tip of the iceberg. Russia is winning the subversion battle against the West.
🔴 Pro-ruzzky European officials participate in #Kremlin smear 'influence operation' against #Ukraine, pinning EU lawmakers' russian bribery in the run-up to June's bloc-wide elections on a Ukrainian traitor oligarch and #putin ally, Viktor Medvedchuk
Within an hour of last week’s deadly attack on Moscow's #CrocusCityHall, a blame game started. #TheGlobalJigsaw tracks the narratives and the counter-narratives underpinned by generous doses of disinformation.
#Russian officials, state media and pro-#Kremlin channels pointed the finger of blame at #Ukraine , downplaying or ignoring the Islamic State #ISIS group’s claim of responsibility.

ISW special analysis on kremlin strategy and actions to influence western decision making with regards to support of Ukraine.
"The Russian goal is to have us freely reason to a conclusion that Russia’s prevailing in Ukraine is inevitable and that we must stay on the sidelines — and Moscow is succeeding far too well in this effort."
Leaked documents from the #Kremlin reveal Vladimir #Putin’s regime is funding a massive AI-powered surveillance operation: facial recognition helps the Kremlin to look for “disloyal and destructive” individuals. This system was used to arrest people attending Alexei #Navalny’s funeral, and was previously tested on football fans during the 2018 World Cup in #Russia and the 2022 World Cup in #Qatar.
Was it a false flag operation?

The attack in #Moscow is inconvenient for #Putin and it makes the #Kremlin looks bad
Therefore they try to find a Ukrainian link but ironically the false flag theory
is also helpful as a way to improve the narrative
