Russian meddling a theme, argues Western nations
The Belgian operation has been carried out with support and coordination from other European partners, notably the Czech Republic, which said it had busted a Moscow-financed network.
Belgium currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Western countries have repeatedly accused Russian operatives of using social media to spread false information to undermine them, promote Russia or attempt to sway public opinion.
