He claimed that the worsening economic situation in the European Union is now an absolute truth, not propaganda launched by Moscow.
According to him, the creation of the Russian research agency “Internet Research Agency” at the time was to protect the Russian information space from the crude and aggressive propaganda of the anti-Russian theses of the West.

Yevgeny Prigozhin says that the deterioration of the situation in Europe is no longer a disinformation campaign launched supposedly by Moscow, but the reality following the changes in the relations of Western countries and Russia by imposing a considerable number of sanctions which have negatively influenced the whole world and especially Western Europe.
