Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Russia’s modus operandi. They want to make us paranoid and suspect them every time something suspicious happens, painting a picture of some kind of super powerful actor, while always retaining plausible deniability about everything.

Scaring the european public, to be less willing to support Ukraine.

With quite some this is working.

It fuels the “look how the government sucks at doing its job, vote for us to “fix” the government” narrative for whoever they are propping up with money and bot farms.

Any disruption is an opportunity to inject corruption.

They just do what they can. Any nuisance is a win for them.

They want the electorate to be scared and vote in incompetent, corrupt, compromised, anti-EU, and divisive government. And then divide et impera.
