Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make representations to the government of German on recent reports that indicate increases in the numbers of people in Germany following social media influencers who are disseminating pro-Russian propaganda on the war in Ukraine.

The response to disinformation in Germany is a matter for German authorities. The UK and Germany are working closely together in response to Putin's aggression in Ukraine, working with the G7 and NATO to isolate Russia and support Ukraine. We share analysis and insight and co-operate through a range of fora. At the UK-Germany Strategic Dialogue on 5 January 2023, the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs confirmed our continued cooperation on Ukraine with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
