The Kremlin has cast a tight net of censorship over Russia, making it extremely difficult for Russian citizens to access factual information. Hacktivists, tech enthusiasts and concerned citizens from around the world continue to creatively circumvent the Kremlin’s propaganda machine and spread facts about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
