Dutch lawmakers from the D-66 party have requested the
Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Netherlands to clarify if there is any
indication of Russia's influence on the upcoming referendum on the Association
Agreement with Ukraine, MP Kees Verhoeven wrote on Twitter.
"Are there any indications that the forthcoming referendum on the
Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU could in any way, including
financially, be influenced by Russia?" reads the enquiry.
According to Verhoeven, the corresponding request was submitted in
connection with an article in a British newspaper The
Telegraph that reported, citing sources, about a major investigation of
American intelligence agencies into how the Kremlin is infiltrating political
parties in Europe.
As UNIAN reported earlier, a referendum on the approval of the Association
Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine will be held in the
Netherlands on April 6, 2016. The referendum question will be: "Are you
for or against the Approval Act of the Association Agreement between the
European Union and Ukraine?"
