The EU has been working on tackling disinformation (link is external) for many years now. The European External Actions Service (EEAS) has been a pioneer in monitoring pro-Kremlin disinformation, and has then expanded its focus and toolbox. Today, EEAS taskforces focus on three different regions: the East, Southern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans. We have recently published our 5th Special Report on COVID-19 disinformation, which shows again how much these activities can cause considerable damage during a global health crisis.
