@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…
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.
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…
@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.
