EU leaders want to tackle Russian 'disinformation' on Ukraine war

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European leaders will ask their foreign policy chief next week to draw up a plan to counter Russian "disinformation campaigns" over the conflict in Ukraine, draft conclusions of an EU summit showed.

EU leaders, meeting on March 19-20, will give the High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini three months -- until their next summit in June -- to work out how to support media freedom and European values in Russia.
