Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced on Friday an investigation into suspected Russian interference in Europe-wide elections in June, saying that his country’s intelligence service has confirmed the existence of a network trying to undermine support for Ukraine.
Referring to the investigation by Belgian prosecutors, De Croo noted that 'the cash payments did not take place in Belgium, but the interference does.' 'These are serious concerns and that is why I have taken action,' he said. 'We cannot allow this type of Russian menace in our midst. We need to act, and we need to act both on the national level and we also need to act on the EU level.' He provided no details about who might be under suspicion.
