#peacetech cannot be top-down, one-size-fits-all or disconnected from the people it is meant to serve. To truly support peace, technology must be contextual, accountable and co-designed with local actors, recognising different languages, cultures, conflict dynamics and lived realities.

My latest for Linkiesta on the EEAS #FIMI report and the evolving landscape of disinformation. From Russian and Chinese operations to the growing role of AI and how conflict is increasingly shifting into the information space. #FIMI #Disinformation www.linkiesta.it/2026/03/l-ue...

"It’s easy to scoff at hawkish types muttering about the CCP plotting from inside our kettles (...) it took the world a long time to wake up to the dangers of over-depending on one country for rare earths (...) dependence on CIMs may pose just as great a risk"

I’m pleased to share that I have joined #FondazioneCSF as a Visiting Fellow, focusing on European Integration and Security. I'm looking forward to contributing to the Foundation’s work in these critical areas.

After one week of war in #Iran, deepfakes, #disinfo, AI-generated images and recycled videos are already shaping the narrative of the #conflict. My analysis for @Linkiesta (ITA): www.linkiesta.it/2026/03/deep...

one week of war in Iran. what I’ve been reading to make sense of it (or 'monitor the situation' as some might say...): - “Trump’s Iran Gamble”, by Ali Vaez in Foreign Affairs Magazine: reader.foreignaffairs.com/2026/03/01/t...

Joined Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI) ‘Modem’ to discuss international broadcasting, today’s #FIMI landscape and the #EU’s response & Democracy Shield. Hosted by Amanda Strippoli-Pfändler. 🎧https://www.rsi.ch/play/tv/modem/video/il-potere-della-propaganda-internazionale?urn=urn:rsi:video:3514078

On Monday I joined Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI) 'Telegiornale 20:00' to comment on reports that Russia Today promoted Switzerland’s 'Halving Initiative' using a falsified SRF page. The case reflects a well-documented #FIMI impersonating tactic. Clip (16:40): www.rsi.ch/play/tv/tele...

That’s a wrap for the CFI Africa Forum! 2 days of Africa–Europe exchanges on foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI). Clear takeaway: countering FIMI across the continent demands sustained cross-regional cooperation, grounded in solid, context-sensitive research.

In a world shaped by Trump, Putin & Xi, the EU must abandon its failing strategy of 'react, hope, repeat', writes @sbeverts.bsky.social in @politico.eu. 👉 politico.eu/article/euro...

It was a pleasure and honour to address the @lecese.fr on the panel "Préserver la démocratie face aux ingérences et à la désinformation" and discuss along a great line-up of speakers:

Trust between Europe & the US on fighting #disinfo is at a low point. Washington has taken a U-turn: shutting offices, defunding counter-FIMI efforts & politicising free speech, explains @leodeago.bsky.social. Watch the full discussion: 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=DNUD...

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference erodes trust, fuels instability & weakens democracies. At the Montreal International Security Summit,we unpacked this global threat, discussed global responses & concrete EU–Canada cooperation. #CFI #FIMI

#EUISS2025 brought Europe’s strategic community together to rethink the EU’s global role. 🎥 Some highlights from a day of ideas, insights & exchanges on how the EU can act with power & purpose.

A full house today for the HR/VP @kajakallas.bsky.social at our @euiss.bsky.social annual conference. "Whether we like it or not, Europe is engaged in a global competition for democracy and freedom"

💬 "The credibility of EU and of our geopolitical power is at stake. But it's also our people, especially the young people, who are losing trust in the EU because we can't deliver, and that's why we need to be very, very concrete," says @kajakallas.bsky.social to @sbeverts.bsky.social.

After the Alaska & Washington summits, Europe held the line, keeping Ukraine central to transatlantic diplomacy. But Trump’s commitment is uncertain, Putin disruptive & security guarantees unresolved. 💡 Read our take on where we stand: iss.europa.eu/publications...

The EU can leverage digital diplomacy to more effectively counter #disinformation in Georgia & Armenia. AI-enhanced social listening offers an innovative way to navigate these contested info spaces explain @ditrych.bsky.social & @leodeago.bsky.social. Read more: www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

Russia’s hybrid attacks won’t go unanswered. The EU, UK & partners continue to take coordinated action, including with sanctions. We will use all available tools to protect our institutions, infrastructure, and democracies. Statement on behalf of EU27: europa.eu/!mgYVJv

📢 The #CFIDialogues2025 wrapped up last week in Florence! 2️⃣ days focused on detecting and exposing foreign interference and strengthening the EU's capability for active defence. 👏 Thanks to everyone who contributed their knowledge, ideas and energy, and to our partner @eui-stg.bsky.social.

Great kick off for our 2025 CFI Dialogues! Ukraine, Moldova, Africa, transatlantic relations and hybrid interference... And a great annual get together for our CFI community! #CFI #FIMI

While the #EUUK Summit on 19 May delivered a new Security and Defence Partnership, #Russia's hybrid threats and interference in Europe are here to stay. In my @euiss.bsky.social commentary, I argue that EU-UK cooperation on this front should be urgently operationalised. Read the commentary here:

⚠️ #Russia's hybrid threats and interference in Europe are here to stay. In light of their newly-established Security & Defence Partnership, the EU and the UK can counter Russian hybrid attacks through a dedicated bilateral task force, writes @leodeago.bsky.social. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

🚨 Russia works daily to undermine the EU. ⚠️ It’s time the EU fights back. Launching today #UnpowerRussia: our strategic playbook to reduce the Kremlin's ability to harm. 🔗https://ow.ly/MgPL50VWxzx

The 17th package of sanctions against #Russia includes: 🚫 an additional 17 individuals and 58 entities sanctioned 🚫 a port access ban on 189 further vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet 🚫 31 new entities subject to tighter export restrictions 🚫 further export bans More: europa.eu/!x6MWG7

A new chapter in EU–UK relations starts today in London. In a world of growing challenges, we, united by common values, choose partnership and shared purpose. Because close friends stick together.

Russia acts every day to weaken the EU. It’s time Europe pushes back. We're with @poland25eu.bsky.social today to discuss how the EU can #UnpowerRussia: a first look at our upcoming Chaillot Paper. 🔴 Live thread 👇

We are upping the pressure on Russia to end its war. I welcome the agreement on the 17th package of sanctions. It will target more of Russia’s shadow fleet, which is illegally shipping oil for revenues to fund Putin’s aggression. Sanctions drain Russia’s war chest.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Trump blaming the victim - once again. This isn’t about building peace. But a way for Trump to withdraw support. He wants out. Ukraine keeps fighting because Russia keeps attacking it every day. The task for Europeans is to keep supporting Ukraine. This is both in our interest and feasible.

"Given the Trump administration’s skepticism toward NATO and the defense of its transatlantic allies, a U.S.-Russian agreement could increase Moscow’s willingness to launch unconventional attacks in Europe". www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/arson... by @andreisoldatov.bsky.social, I.Borogan @cepa.org
