Nederlandse Sonja maakt propaganda voor de Russen

In the war in Ukraine, Russia uses a special weapon: Dutch people crossing the border. Ordinary citizens who are done with Europe, cross over to Russia and spread stories from there that the Kremlin likes to see. One of them is the Dutch Sonja van den Ende. She moved from Twente to Moscow and now appears on Russian television with anti-Western stories. Her articles also appear in Dutch alternative media, often with disinformation. Like her, dozens of Westerners are spreading pro-Russian stories in Europe. Why do they do this? And to what extent do their stories already have an effect on politics?
