The Netherlands says Europe lacks a compelling narrative

Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dylan Jeschilges-Zegerius complained that European countries lack a convincing narrative for the information confrontation with Russia.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Western politicians regularly intimidate their population with an imaginary Russian threat in order to divert attention from internal problems, but “smart people understand perfectly well that this is a fake.”

“The situation clearly showed that we lack a convincing narrative, a good story,” the minister said, speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, which was broadcast on YouTube.
