MOSCOW, October 27. /TASS/. Europe is trying to keep the public on its side via its information war against Russia, while finding that harder to do these days, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting with the editors-in-chief of the African media.

"The West is depending on disinformation to keep public opinion on its side, trying to hold on for dear life. It's with this information war that they are trying to keep their heads above water. But it's getting harder and harder for them to do that."
