On the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, #RussianWarReport🇷🇺 shares the top lines of @DFRLab's new reports on Russian narratives. Even a year later, Russia is pushing narratives meant to undermine Ukraine and foment further regional conflicts. 🧵👇atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
The first of @DFRLab's two new reports, “Narrative Warfare” examines how the Kremlin and Russian news outlets justified a war of aggression through employing false and misleading narratives for the weeks and months leading up to the invasion. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
The narratives laid out in the report served as Putin’s cases belli and were referenced hundreds of times throughout his February 24, 2022 speech announcing Russia’s “special military operation."
@DFRLab broke down his speech to expose these narratives: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

On Tuesday, Putin delivered an address to the Russian State Duma (parliament) that regurgitated several narratives previously used to justify the invasion of Ukraine. His speech tried to make the case that Putin was innocent for the blood shed in the war. en.kremlin.ru/events/preside…
Days later, Russian MoD claimed Ukrainian forces were planning a provocation against the breakaway Moldovan region of Transnistria. Putin revoked a 2012 decree committing to respect Moldova's sovereignty in a peaceful solution to the Transnistria conflict. t.me/mod_russia/243…
In Ukraine, intel reports indicate Russia is concentrating military efforts to capture Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Marinka, Avdiivka, and Vuhledar. The UK MoD confirmed #Vuhledar is under heavy shelling and that Russia is likely planning another offensive there.
Meanwhile, internal power struggles between Russian defense officials and Yevgeny Prigozhin continue. #Prigozhin accused Russia's MoD of lying about supplying Wagner with requested supplies, claiming soldiers received only 20% of ammunition promised. t.me/concordgroup_o…
Through a series of recordings, Prigozhin lashed out at military leadership for inadequately suppling Wagner Group forces. He even mentioned a call to to “give shells to the Wagners” (“Дайте снаряды Вагнерам”) had been “launched on social media.” archive.ph/wip/STC2g
