        Poland wants the European
        Union to launch a campaign in the United States to raise
        awareness with the American public about the importance of the
        joint relationship.
        
        In a paper prepared for an EU foreign ministers' meeting on
        Monday, Poland calls for positive action ahead of the U.S.
        presidential election on Nov. 5 to counter what it describes as
        Russian "disinformation" aimed at sowing division between the EU
        and Washington.
        
        "At this critical moment in history, it is imperative that
        we collectively take swift and robust action to strengthen the
        transatlantic relations through strategic communication about
        the EU in the U.S.," the paper, seen by Reuters, says.
        
        It adds: "This means scaling up our de-bunking and, even
        more importantly, pre-bunking of Russian disinformation and
        launching campaigns which set the record straight about where
        Europe stands today and about the benefits of diplomacy,
        collective security and open society."
