“[Russian] information operations are underway […] to gradually demoralise the public debate so that Russian narratives can be disseminated. These are part of an information war to stop the flow of material aid to a struggling Ukraine,” warned the Czech National Centre for Combating Organised Crime (NCOZ) in a report.

“The Kremlin’s efforts to diminish public trust in institutions and the state is not new, but the increase in the intensity of influence operations is a threat,” the Czech Strategic Communications Coordinator Otakar Foltýn said in reaction to the NCOZ report.

According to the NCOZ, Russian activities are aimed at influencing the population of Western European countries while increasing the threat of sabotage against critical and transport infrastructure, with local residents and criminal networks are becoming more involved in various activities.

These include gathering information, identifying targets, putting pressure on specific individuals, such as those from the exiled diaspora, and even direct attacks on infrastructure and public places.

“This issue has been persistent for several years, with Russian and Chinese influence attempting to infiltrate Czech society,” Jurečka said. “We must cultivate a society that can critically think, resist disinformation, and not succumb to fear,” Jurečka added.

Support for Ukraine’s ?people are more stupid than a thought . 10 years of a “conflict” that a small country like Ukraine holds against Russia? Don’t you think it is strange? This is all a circus people, please open your eyes. There are big economic interest from big capitals and people of power, Putin and Zelenskyy are the operators . NATO is the pretext, EU and America population needs to believe so this shit can keep going. It is the same as the “war against terrorism” in Middle East. I can’t believe people are still believing it. If you study the economic consecuences of the “conflict “, you will understand.
