Fascinating! Do you have any evidence for this?

    NICE. So two of those are just opinion pieces quoting Western cut-outs/think tank hacks, and the Guardian piece is relying entirely on the statements of NATO's chief. Funny how low the barrier of proof is when you're "the good guys." "He declined to give details of those operations, saying: “That is my interpretation.”" LMAO

      If you want to know why the bar is so low: Firstly, it's incredibly difficult to track funding for entities like these, so when someone like the NATO chief isn't citing sources, it's probably because the sources aren't for the public to know. Second, this is something that Russia has done dozens of times. It should be shocking to you if they aren't funding this sort of narrative in the countries they want to be dependent on them.
