Voice of Europe disseminated concerted disinformation related to Ukraine, the Union and its Member States with the aim of supporting the foreign policy interests of the Russian Federation. It systematically undermined the public image of Ukraine and its efforts to defend itself against Russia’s war of aggression, and the credibility of the assistance of the Union and its Member States to Ukraine’s defence, including ahead of the 2024 European Parliament elections. Voice of Europe was secretly financed and directed by Viktor Medvedchuk, a pro-Russian Ukrainian politician and businessperson with close ties to the leadership of the Russian Federation, through his associate Artem Marchevskyi. Voice of Europe was used to funnel financial resources designated for the remuneration of propagandists and the building an influence network connecting Medvedchuk and his associates with representatives of political parties in Europe. Therefore, Voice of Europe was involved in activities facilitating the construction of Viktor Medvedchuk’s influence network in the Union and its Member States.

Vessels owned and operated by Norebo JSC show particular movement patterns that are inconsistent with regular economic practices and fishing activities. The movement patterns align with malign objectives, such as repeatedly being in the vicinity of or loitering near critical infrastructure and military sites. The movement patterns have been linked, including by Member States and the authorities of third states, to the Russian state-sponsored surveillance campaign that employs inter alia, civilian fishing trawlers, to conduct espionage missions directed against civilian and military infrastructure in the North and Baltic Sea. Those activities can facilitate future sabotage operations. Shipping vessels owned and operated by Norebo JSC have also been equipped with technology that may be used for espionage. A Norebo JSC vessel has been banned from entering Dutch port facilities due to espionage. Norebo JSC has also received several loans from Sberbank, a Russian state-owned bank. Moreover, in July 2022, Russia released its new “maritime doctrine”, which emphasises the strategic importance of civilian ships and their crews for maritime readiness, including by preparing them for wartime, and allowing them to be used by the armed forces in peace time. Norebo JSC thus implements and supports actions by the Government of the Russian Federation, which undermine or threaten the security in the Union, several of its Member States and third countries by engaging in and supporting actions aimed at interfering with critical infrastructure, including submarine infrastructure. 20.5.2025

Melkart-5 (Russian: Мелькарт-5), a vessel owned and operated by MSF, has repeatedly shown untypical behaviour inconsistent with its regular economic practices and fishing activities, including its presence in close vicinity to an ongoing NATO military exercise, and regular presence close to Norwegian critical infrastructure and military sites. In particular Melkart-5 showed highly unusual navigation practices in the immediate vicinity of a subsea cable in the Norwegian North Sea, crossing the cable multiple times, immediately before the cable was severely damaged. In addition, crew of Melkart-5 violated Norwegian on-shoring regulations while being caught setting off to investigate a Norwegian bridge critical for military logistic purposes in a clandestine manner. Moreover, in July 2022, Russia released its new “maritime doctrine”, which emphasises the strategic importance of civilian ships and their crews for maritime readiness, including by preparing them for wartime, and allowing them to be used by the armed forces in peace time. MSF thus implements and supports actions by the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten the security in the Union, several of its Member States and third countries by engaging in and supporting actions aimed at interfering with critical infrastructure, including submarine infrastructure. 20.5.2025

It is directly subordinated to the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation and operates under the authority of a general director appointed by the Russian President. RTRS provides infrastructure and technical capabilities for the transmission of the so called “All-Russian mandatory publicly available television and radio channels” such as Pervyi Kanal or Rossiya 24. RTRS plays a key role in effectively replacing legacy Ukrainian broadcasting systems in occupied regions with a network that transmits content approved by the Government of the Russian Federation intended to suppress dissent, to align the local population with Russian policies and to delegitimise Ukraine’s governance in the occupied territories. This directly undermines the ability of local populations to access diverse and independent information. The expansion of RTRS operations into the occupied regions is facilitated by the Government of the Russian Federation which grants RTRS the right to establish transmission infrastructure there. Therefore, RTRS is implementing and benefiting from policies attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten democracy and stability in Ukraine, and which undermine the sovereignty or independence of Ukraine, through engaging in or otherwise facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference. 15.7.2025

142-й батальон радиоэлектронной борьбы 142-й батальон РЭБ 142-й отдельный батальон радиоэлектронной борьбы 236000, Posyolok Kumachevo, Kaliningrad region, Russian Federation The 142nd Separate Electronic Warfare Battalion, based in Kaliningrad region, is part of electronic warfare and plays an important role in ensuring the security and defence of the region. The battalion is responsible for using technology to disorganise any system of shortwave communication, conducting electronic warfare exercises to disrupt enemy navigation and radio communications as well as for the collection and analysis of intelligence information obtained by observing electromagnetic radiation in the short and ultrashort wave ranges. Recently, several European countries have experienced GPS signal failures, which have been attributed to electronic warfare activities by Russia, specifically from Kaliningrad. This includes deliberate jamming and ‘spoofing’ of GPS signals, primarily affecting the Baltic States. Interference and manipulation of GPS signals has led to obstacles for landing civil planes. The 142nd Separate Electronic Warfare Battalion in Kaliningrad has received jamming equipment and conducted exercises using advanced systems capable of disrupting communications over large areas. Therefore, the 142nd Separate Electronic Warfare Battalion, as part of Russia’s military forces enabling the (mis)use of the radio frequency sector, is responsible for actions or policies attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten stability or security in, or the sovereignty of, the Member States of the Union by engaging in, directly or indirectly, supporting or otherwise facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference or actions aimed at interfering with, damaging or destroying critical infrastructure through malicious cyber activities as part of hybrid activities. 15.12.2025

(Russian: Международное движение русофилов) (French: Mouvement International Russophile)

The International Russophile Movement is a movement responsible for amplifying destabilising narratives globally, on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation. The movement has strong ties with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, receiving endorsements for their work. Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has given keynote speeches in congress meetings of the movement. The movement is also associated with the Kremlin’s top ideologue Aleksandr Dugin and media oligarch Konstantin Malofeev. The Government of the Russian Federation uses the movement as a cover for manipulating the public opinion of other countries, promoting anti-Western sentiment and echoing other Kremlin speaking points. Therefore, the International Russophile Movement is supporting or implementing actions attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten stability or security in the Union or in a third country (Ukraine) by engaging in, supporting or otherwise facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference. 15.12.2025

a.k.a. Euroview a.k.a. Euroview Media Address: Avenue Ariane 5, 1200 Brussels, Belgium Website: https://euromore.eu/, https://euroview.media Euromore is a media platform which operates within the pro-Kremlin information architecture as an unofficial media relay, intended to amplify, recycle, and legitimise Russian narratives and disinformation targeting European audiences. Euromore recurrently disseminates content challenging the legitimacy of Union institutions and justifying Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Its editorial line consistently converges with talking points promoted by the Kremlin, particularly regarding the alleged responsibility of NATO and the Union in the conflict in Ukraine and the delegitimisation of the Ukrainian authorities. The platform regularly hosts contributors known for their dissemination of conspiracy-driven narratives or disinformation, allowing those contributors to retain public visibility and to continue their influence activities. Euromore’s website appears to have been cleaned up and to contain only an article complaining about Western sanctions targeting propaganda media. However, the URL is still active, albeit now referring to the new name ‘Euroview Media: euroview.media’, and relays RT and Sputnik content. Therefore, Euromore is supporting, involved in and facilitating actions or policies attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten stability or security in the Union or in third country (Ukraine), through engaging in, directly or indirectly, supporting and otherwise facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference. 21.4.2026

(Russian: Некоммерческая организация ‘Фонд поддержки и защиты прав соотечественников, проживающих за рубежом’) Address: Arbat Street, 55/32, Moscow, 119200, Russian Federation Place of registration: Moscow, Russia Date of registration: 21.11.2011 Registration number: 1117799023330 Website: www.pravfond.ru The Foundation for the Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad (Pravfond) constitutes a core instrument of the Russian Federation’s foreign influence and propaganda strategy. Founded and financed by the Russian state, the Foundation is fully embedded within the Kremlin’s soft power architecture and operates as a para-institutional relay for official narratives. Pravfond’s legal and analytical output is systematically used to reinforce key Kremlin talking points, notably allegations of the ‘nazification’ of Ukraine, claims of widespread ‘Russophobia,’ and assertions of systematic persecution of Russian-speaking populations in neighboring states. The Foundation channels funds to actors closely linked to pro-Kremlin influence networks. The Executive Director of Pravfond has publicly expressed support for President Vladimir Putin and for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. In parallel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has praised the Foundation’s ‘consistent work’ in countering alleged xenophobia, neo-Nazism, and attempts to falsify history, thereby confirming Pravfond’s direct integration into the Kremlin’s official communication and conflict-legitimation strategy. Therefore, Pravfond is responsible for, implementing, supporting, involved in and facilitating actions or policies attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation, which undermine or threaten sovereignty and stability in the Union or in a third country (Ukraine), through planning, directing, engaging in, directly or indirectly, supporting and facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference. 21.4.2026

(Russian: Президентский Фонд Культурных Инициатив / ПФКИ) Address: Sredniy Ovchinnikovsky 8, Moscow, Russian Federation Place of registration: Moscow, Russian Federation Date of registration: 1.6.2021 OGRN: 1217700257170 INN: 9704068763 The Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives is a foundation created by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It provides grants for various projects, including for projects supporting the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. That foundation has also provided funding for public relations (PR) agency ‘Limitless’ (Bezgranichnye), thereby enabling its operations. PR agency ‘Limitless’ is responsible for managing Western influencers who echo Kremlin narratives and pro-war propaganda talking points, thereby destabilising Ukraine and Ukrainian allies by flooding the information space with disinformation. As the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives has funded the activities of PR agency ‘Limitless’, it is involved in actions attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten the sovereignty or independence of a third country (Ukraine) through supporting or otherwise facilitating the use of information manipulation and interference. 15.6.2026
