Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk used popular cartoon characters Krtek and Reksio to push back against a disinformation campaign targeting relations between their countries.

Meeting in Bratislava, the leaders rejected the claims and presented the characters as symbols of friendship. Their lighthearted gesture underscored a serious message: fabricated narratives should not divide neighboring allies again.
