A POLITICO review of the 50 videos on Voice of Europe’s YouTube channel revealed 16 MEPs had engaged with the outlet.

“If it is a war of civilization, well, I hope the civilization in Ukraine will lose,” said Marcel de Graaff, a Dutch far-right lawmaker, from a TV studio just inside the European Parliament last October.

Another far-right politician jumped in.

“Ukraine has to become a demilitarized buffer zone,” argued Maximilian Krah, a far-right politician from Germany, addressing the other four participants in the studio. The debate was organized by Voice of Europe, an outlet which Czech and Belgian authorities said in March was a front for Russian propaganda and disinformation.

    The Russians have always been better than us at that side of intelligence operations. We’re historically better codebreakers, which is more of an advantage in a hot war… which is probably why my whole life has looked a lot like losing the cold war.

    I don’t know if there’s anything such as a “total victory” in the cards for Russia, but they’ve definitely made a 21st century world war more likely… Hey, at least Americans are better at that game right? 💀
