EU leaders are going to discuss intelligence data indicating that Russia is allegedly supporting various European far-right parties and movements, according to media reports.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The alleged links between Russia and far-right populist movements will be discussed during the EU summit that will take place on October 20 – 21 in Brussels, The Financial Times reported citing senior EU diplomats.

“It’s a serious concern. It becomes an existential concern. It’s all about situational awareness. We don’t have the tools to look centrally,” one of the diplomats told The Financial Times.

EU intelligence services accuse Russia of interfering in internal affairs of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, France as well as the Netherlands, where in April people voted against the EU-Ukrainian association agreement.

At the same time, according to The Financial Times, no concrete decisions are expected to be made during the summit because of lack of evidence.
