DISINFO: Estonian foreign policy is controlled by Washington

SUMMARY

The foreign policy of Estonia is controlled by Washington and the guidelines for its socio-economic development come mainly from Brussels.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about American influence in Europe. Previous examples this narrative include Europe being occupied by the US and thus having limited sovereignty, Germany's foreign and military policy being conducted under US supervision, and the outcome of Ukraine's presidential elections being decided in Washington.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
