In this #RussianWarReport🇷🇺, #Russia briefly suspended their grain deal cooperation with #Ukraine while #Kremlin media rehash conspiracies about #Poland and allege #Finland will place nuclear weapons close to Russia if they join @NATO.

🧵⬇️: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
@NATO Following a Ukrainian attack on Russia’s Black Sea fleet, Russia announced that it would indefinitely suspend its participation in the @UN-brokered grain export deal with Ukraine. They reversed course a few days later. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
@NATO @UN Russian forces are relocating units and assets to the east bank of the Dnipro River, most likely for redeployment in other directions. #Kherson civilians were urged evacuate. Elite units are reportedly still operating on the west bank of the Dnipro River. t.me/hueviyherson/2…
@NATO @UN Pro-Kremlin Polish media alleged Poland is preparing to annex western Ukraine. The article asserted that Russia will take control of SE Ukraine, claiming Russia is not interested in taking western Ukraine.

@DFRLab previously reported on this conspiracy: medium.com/dfrlab/pro-kre…
@NATO @UN A Finnish tabloid published a story alleging that if Finland joins @NATO, the Russian neighbor will house nuclear weapons on its territory. While Finland's PM tried to tamp down rumors, Russian media ran far and wide with the story. yle.fi/news/3-12671101

After @DFRLab discovered a small inauthentic network on @facebook promoting posts critical of Western sanctions against #Russia, an independent @Meta investigation revealed a larger network of 2300+ assets promoting Kremlin interests across Europe. 🧵⬇️ medium.com/dfrlab/russia-…
@facebook @Meta .@Meta concluded the network originated from #Russia. @DFRLab noticed several indicators of previous Russian influence ops including the amplification of pro-Kremlin narratives, paid promotion, inaccurate and non-native grammar; impersonating real people/institutions, and more.
@facebook @Meta .@DFRLab first ID'ed the network with a page called 'Winsome wc5.' The page categorized itself as a restaurant and used the logo of German media outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for its profile pic. Its sole post called for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline's implementation. Image

The @DFRLab has reported extensively on Prigozhin and Wagner. See the thread for just a few. 🧵👇

In 2021, @DFRLab’s @awildknight wrote about the takedown of an inauthentic network of Facebook assets linked to #Prigozhin meant to amplify pro-Russian content in #Sudan. medium.com/dfrlab/inauthe…
@awildknight Prior to that, @etobuziashvili and @LAndriukaitis reported on Russian online media outlets targeting Lithuania with a disinformation campaign claiming #Prigozhin had been let into the country twice despite sanctions. medium.com/dfrlab/russian…

Happy #UkraineIndependenceDay!

Since even before #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine six months ago, @DFRLab has worked to document Russian #disinformation, war crimes, and influence ops. The #RussianWarReport🇷🇺, written by our team, is just one piece. 🧵👇atlanticcouncil.org/category/conte…
One of the biggest tools at our team’s disposal was our ability to quickly and effectively geolocate Russian equipment as it moved across #Russia to its border with #Ukraine and into #Belarus last January. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
Geolocation via social media posts also allowed our colleague @Michael1Sheldon to track and analyze the Russian shelling of civilian areas in #Kharkiv, #Ukraine's second largest city. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

NEW REPORT: Chinese Discourse Power: Ambitions and Reality in the Digital Domain

From @DFRLab's @kentonthibaut, this report traces #China's CCP’s concerted strategy to center itself at the heart of a new alternative international order. 🧵👇atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
@kentonthibaut The #CCP’s goal is to create an alternative global order with #China at its heart, and to push a digital model where state sovereignty overrules civil liberties and human rights are subordinate to state security. @kentonthibaut explains:
@kentonthibaut #China believes that the West, esp. the US, is able to exert global dominance because they possess “discourse power” (话语权): a type of narrative agenda-setting focused on reshaping global governance, values, and norms to legitimize and facilitate the expression of state power.

Kicking things off with our #DigitalSherlocks in Brussels

@GrahamBrookie says the 100+ Sherlocks with us this week are “the best of the best.”

@LAndriukaitis welcomes them and @jean_leroux introduces the first Sherlock challenge, based on a real-life disinfo campaign.

#360OS
First up, @acarvin and @laylamashkoor lead a conversation about a complicated and fundamental topic: ethics in open source investigations.

“Honestly, it’s more than just the methods. It’s the movement. It’s all of us,” @acarvin says.

#360OS
.@laylamashkoor notes that a standardized code of ethics doesn’t exist for OSINT researchers the way it does for lawyers, doctors, etc. Because of that, she says, it’s important for the community to discuss and debate these issues together and strive for high standards.

• Belarusian troop move toward #Ukraine
• Kremlin media claims @NATO officers killed in #Mariupol
• #Russia blames sanctions for world food crisis
• Russia attempts to limit #VPN's and #Tor 🧵⬇️: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
@NATO In May, Belarusian President #Lukashenka ordered the creation of a military command center in southern #Belarus on #Ukraine's border. On June 2, videos of Belarusian equipment, including anti-aircraft missiles, being transported via rail appeared online.
@NATO Veterans Today, a US-based site known to circulate antisemitic and conspiratorial content, published an article implying NATO officers were killed in #Mariupol. Pro-Kremlin media outlets in Russia quickly amplified the article from which it spread on #Telegram.
