The Disinformation Landscape in Lithuania

From EU DisinfoLab. As Lithuania has a long history of dealing with Russian aggression, it is both literally and figuratively on the frontlines in combatting Kremlin disinformation and propaganda. Lithuania is home to many leading experts, volunteers, NGOs, and other institutions fighting disinformation, and serves as a successful example of how to combat disinformation. The majority of the disinformation encountered in Lithuania is of Russian origin and is often intended for international audiences in order to undermine NATO, the EU, and the West in general while promoting Russian legitimacy and authority. This disinformation landscape factsheet was written by Brock Mays for EU DisinfoLab, an independent, non-profit organization combatting disinformation.
