Russia asks Spain for proof of its alleged involvement in the Ceuta migration crisis

On September 1, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally requested that the Spanish government provide evidence regarding allegations of Russian involvement in a disinformation campaign linked to the migration crisis in Ceuta. The Spanish enclave, located on the North African coast, has been the site of significant migratory pressure, and Russian officials are seeking substantiation for claims that Moscow played a role in destabilizing the region through information operations.

The Russian demand follows accusations suggesting that external actors may have influenced the events surrounding the border crisis. By calling for proof, the Russian Foreign Ministry is challenging the validity of these assertions, emphasizing that formal accusations should be accompanied by verifiable evidence.
