Russian political influence and financial links
Moscow increased its efforts to expand its political influence using a wide range of methods,[28] including funding of political movements in Europe, increased spending on propaganda in European languages,[29] operating a range of media broadcasting in EU languages[30][31] and web brigades, with some observers suspecting the Kremlin of trying to weaken the EU and its response to the Ukrainian crisis.[32][33][34]
Russia has formed close ties with Eurosceptic and populist parties, belonging to the far-right and far-left.[35] By the end of 2014, a number of European far-right and far-left[36] parties were receiving different forms of financial or organisational support from Russia in an attempt to build a common anti-European and pro-Russian front in the European Union.
