(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 07 - "Russia uses the manipulation of information as a weapon, because the war in Ukraine is not fought only with bullets: this battle is ongoing, Minister Lavrov travels around Africa and spreads lies about the responsibility of war and the effects it has on the world".
This was stated by the high representative of EU foreign policy Josep Borrell as he opened the conference on disinformation.
"Russia uses thousands of people, it has industrialized disinformation, it is a weapon, which hurts, kills, kills people's ability to understand what is happening: if information is toxic, democracy cannot work".
