Inside Belarus’ secret program to undermine the EU

The Belarusian regime is running a carefully orchestrated campaign aimed at destabilizing the European Union, with tactics ranging from inciting migration crises to waging information warfare.

According to internal documents obtained by POLITICO, and corroborated by interviews with Belarusian officials and European intelligence officials, Minsk’s program includes hiring smugglers, helping migrants cross EU borders and disseminating fake news targeting EU leaders.

European officials say the Belarusian regime’s primary goal is to exact revenge against the EU for imposing sanctions after Lukashenko’s disputed 2020 election win.
