This claim, made by propagandists citing African media, is false – mainly because Defence Minister Rustem Umerov did not visit Niger in November 2023. Moreover, by the end of 2024, the French company Orano had lost control of uranium mining in Niger, and the country’s main uranium buyers are now Russia and China. Russian media […]

By EUvsDisinfo Russia’s disinformation campaigns are not a loose collection of random lies; they are the product of a carefully engineered system. This system is best visualised as an iceberg: a structure where the loudest pro-Kremlin voices are merely the visible tip, supported by a vast and often hidden system below. For every government official […]

The country’s extreme right is prospering ahead of re-run presidential elections despite extensive evidence of continuing Russian subversion.
