Estonia Immune To Russia's Disinformation Campaigns Tsahkna
"Russia has been pursuing a policy of disinformation against Estonia for years, but we are immune to it because we know that Russia is an aggressor state. From this perspective, we educate our population, work with social media and information resources, and shut down harmful websites. It is also very important to disseminate truthful information," Tsahkna said.
According to him, Russia wants to take control of the minds of Estonian citizens, but the authorities do not allow this to happen. The country is also learning a great deal from Ukraine.
"Russia uses many topics in its disinformation campaigns, and not only popular and widespread ones such as 'Russia brings good' and 'the West and NATO are bad.' It also uses other issues that are being discussed in our society and turns them into tools for spreading disinformation, such as migration policy or COVID. But we identify all such cases and work to address them," the minister added.
