Russian forces targeted infrastructure in #Kyiv, #Odesa, #Vinnytsia, #Sumy, & #Zaporizhzhia. That same day, Ukrainian forces shot down 60 of 70+ Russian missiles. However, data suggests that Russia is not striking Ukraine w/ the same intensity as at the beginning of the invasion.
Earlier this week, several people were killed in explosions at two Russian military airfields. Russia accused Ukraine of using a drone to strike Russian targets hundreds of kilometers from the border. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
Wagner Group announced themselves in #Serbia and in collaboration with Orly, the “Russian-Serbian Cultural and Information Center of Friendship and Cooperation.”

Orly originally denied cooperation before then sharing Wagner's announcement the next day. t.me/centrwagner/41
#Latvia revoked the broadcasting license of TV Rain, an independent Russian channel, citing security threats. Russia’s MFA spokesperson then published a compilation of statements by Western politicians condemning Russia for preventing TV Rain’s operations. neplp.lv/lv/jaunums/nep…

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…

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

(1/5): For the first time, Russian businessman Yevgeny #Prigozhin publicly admitted to founding the Wagner Group private military company in 2014.

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…
