Investigators on Wednesday raided the home and offices of an EU parliamentary staffer as Belgium probes claims that Russia paid far-right lawmakers — including Germany’s embattled Maximilian Krah — to spread Kremlin propaganda. A source close to the inquiry said the target was Guillaume Pradoura, a former assistant to Krah of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, who is himself being investigated for suspected ties to both Russia and China.

They say, someone so Putin sneaking through parliament corridors looking for Ursula.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least. The fact EU leadership thinks Russia is strong is hilarious. Their entire military was decimated by Ukraine, of all places. They're about as dangerous as sucking a popsicle.
It's just Russian ''diplomacy'', that's how they kept good relations with the EU, they bribed everyone they could.
Probably alarmist bollox. Russsia russia russia. 🙄
😅russia russia russia
Lmmfao. France has a Russia gate problem. They believe media lies about russia.
Where is the investigation into israel totally owning france.
"Russian interference" is an absolute joke of a lie. They accuse anyone that disagrees with the corrupt Establishment of being "Putin bots", "antisemitic" or whatever smear of the day they use. They are projecting their own corruption onto others. The rot at the top is deep and toxic.
