Disinformation networks tied to the Kremlin have reactivated a coordinated campaign targeting the Spanish enclaves in North Africa, attempting to deepen political divisions within the European Union. Security monitors report that anonymous calls are currently circulating across social media platforms and messaging apps, urging a mass breach of the Ceuta and Melilla borders set for August 15. The operation aims to manufacture a fresh humanitarian crisis and spark social unrest across member states.
According to published findings, primary drivers of this campaign include Rybar—a influential channel with direct links to Russian military intelligence—and digital assets operating under the broader “Pravda” propaganda infrastructure. These accounts are actively amplifying inflammatory messaging to manipulate migrant communities and stoke fear among European populations.
Security analysts warn that this escalation in North Africa is a deliberate component of Moscow’s broader hybrid warfare strategy against Europe. Similar mechanisms of psychological pressure, deliberate destabilization, and foreign interference are systematically deployed by the Kremlin during critical election cycles in key EU nations, notably Germany and France.
