The VMB (2025), as an expansion of Robotrolling, tracks the Kremlin’s evolving propaganda on Ukraine and NATO, highlights AI’s dual role, and uses Osavul’s AI to map hostile campaigns against NATO and allies.

🛡️ Defence

• “Defence innovation” with 🇺🇦🇳🇴 (my reading: do bilateral in face of NATO uncertainty)
• #FIMI (#disinformation): more systematic attribution & sanctions, EU election observation missions will now include social media monitoring

Steve Witkoff, Trump's Special Envoy, has a serious and unreported conflict of interest in Russia-Ukraine negotiations: his relationship with Ukraine-sanctioned businessman Len Blavatnik.

My colleagues in DC are saying that you can't use the words '#disinformation' and '#FIMI' (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) in any official context anymore.

The #US has given up on fighting against bullshit — in fact, they now fully embrace it.

#USA #Trump

Kaja Kallas says that #FIMI "is a major security threat to the EU".
Hear why in our latest podcast interview with Eoin McNamara from the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.

🛡️ Policy vs. Science – The FIMI Dilemma

For the EU, FIMI is a valuable counter-disinformation framework. It provides a broad, flexible approach to tackling foreign information threats.

But for science, it’s hard to use:
📌 Vague scope
📌 Difficult to measure
📌 Lacks precise falsity criteria

Rather than competing with other disinfo concepts, FIMI is best seen as a policy tool—not a universal research framework.

#Security #HybridThreats #FIMI

⚖️ FIMI is highly policy-driven. The European External Action Service (EEAS) operationalized it to tackle foreign state-led disinformation. But science relies on clearer definitions.

By focusing on manipulative intent rather than falsity, FIMI makes it difficult to create empirical studies, as assessing intent and coordination is methodologically complex.

This is why FIMI is an excellent policy concept—but a challenging research framework.

#Disinfo #SecurityPolicy #FIMI

🇪🇺 Why did the EU develop FIMI?

#FIMI was created to counter external #influence operations, particularly #russian #disinformation. Unlike older disinfo concepts, it shifts focus from content to behavioral intent—meaning that even truthful information can be classified as FIMI if used manipulatively.

This helps policymakers address broader influence strategies, but makes FIMI analytically tricky for researchers.

#InfoOps #Security #EU

Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference #FIMI is central to the EU’s approach to #disinformation. But what kind of concept is it? And why is it useful for EU policy but less so for scientific research?

Unlike traditional disinfo frameworks, FIMI focuses on manipulative behavior rather than just falsehoods. This makes it an effective policy tool—but creates challenges for researchers.

1/10 Disinformation is a persistent threat to democracies, but its impact differs across Cognitive Warfare, Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (FIMI), and Hybrid Threats.

Rather than competing, these concepts complement each other—each targeting distinct vulnerabilities. Understanding their differences is key to designing better counterstrategies.
