Prague’s Election Looms Large Over Central Europe’s Security Fate
2 October 2025
The case of Ukrainian Artyom Marchevskiy – infamous pro-Kremlin Voice of Europe propagandist – travelling to Slovakia to escape Czech sanctions illustrates once again the subversive operations targeting EU public discourse. To tackle such operations, the EU, Central Europe and Ukraine have no option but to integrate their strategic communication.
The case of Artyom (Artem) Marchevskiy, a pro-Kremlin Voice of Europe propagandist from Ukraine, serves as a prime example of the shared challenges faced by the EU, Central Europe and Ukraine regarding malign propaganda strategies and subversive operations aimed at manipulating public discourse.
Furthermore, it underscores the transnational nature of propaganda warfare in the digital age, transcending national borders, and emphasises the inadequacy of individual nation-states’ responses. It also showcases how effective defence against hostile propaganda and disinformation involves ever-closer cooperation between those wanting to support the Union and EU values.
