THE WINTER WAR REDUX? Finland sees propaganda attack from former master Russia.
Mantila, showing on his laptop what he said were false news pictures, skewed authority statements and pro-Kremlin online discussions, said his network has verified around 20 cases of clear information operations against Finland from the past few years, and around 30 “very likely” such operations.“There is a systematic lying campaign going on… It is not a question of bad journalism, I believe it is controlled from the centre,” he said.Kremlin and Russian foreign ministry officials were not immediately available for a comment.Foreign Minister Timo Soini has also acknowledged the alleged propaganda, saying the government was countering false information with facts.“All states engage in propaganda, authoritarian states even more so,” he told Reuters.Some of the incidents have taken aim at Finland’s independence and at its historical figures.
