Brussels sees “Russia's attempts to take advantage” of the Ceuta crisis, but says there is no “evidence” that it provoked it
The European Commission says it cannot assert that the origin of the crisis lies in “disinformation coming from foreign state actors.”
The European Union's External Action Service identified attempts by Russia to take advantage of the Ceuta crisis through social media, a spokesperson said in Brussels. However, there is no conclusive evidence that the crisis, triggered by irregular migrant arrivals in late July, was caused by disinformation spread by foreign state actors. The crisis occurred in Ceuta.
