Tbilisi 🇬🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 (h/t TV Formula).

Today is the day that I love the most - Independence Day of Georgia. But at the same time, it is a sad day. 1/5 Image
Today, as never before, Ronald Reagan's words are relevant & important for Georgia: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." 2/5
We are facing a historic moment and I see that Georgians are making the only correct choice of fighting for and defending our freedom, over one day spending our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in Georgia, where people were free. 3/5
Everything and everyone who tries to drag Georgia closer to Russia aims to take our freedom away. In addition to Russia, this is currently done by the government of Georgia. But people are resisting. 4/5
Georgia's independent and free future is only together with and in NATO and EU.

We will never ever give up on our freedom. 5/5

Meta took down Georgian FB network associated with the Georgian Government’s Department of Strategic Communications for coordinated inauthentic behavior.
It should be highlighted that the StratCom dept was supported both financially & with capacity-building by the West. 1/7
To sum up, the network linked with the StratCom Department of the Georgian government was covertly promoting Russian style "foreign agents law" that was meant to target the Western support and activities in Georgia. 2/7
The details:
"The people behind this activity relied on fake accounts to run fictitious personas, manage Groups and Pages, post, comment, and like their own content to make it appear more popular than it was." 3/7

We published two reports on the Kremlin information operations before and after February 2022 re-invasion. It's not only a product of over a year-long 24/7 work, but a culmination of 7 years of daily monitoring, documentation, & analysis by us at the @AtlanticCouncil @DFRLab. 1/8
2 reports are: "Narrative Warfare: How the Kremlin and Russian News Outlets Justified a War of Aggression Against Ukraine" - It's a data-driven & manual analysis of over 10,000 articles showing how the Kremlin prepared a ground for & justification of re-invasion of Ukraine. 2/8
And “Undermining Ukraine: How the Kremlin Employs Information Operations to Erode Global Confidence in Ukraine” – This is a study of the region-specific approaches that the Kremlin and pro-Kremlin actors employed to target global audiences in an effort to justify its war. 3/8

The Ukrainian defense ministry’s intelligence department (GUR) has claimed that Russian operatives used deepfake technology in an attempt to discredit Ukraine’s partnership with Turkey. 1/5
According to a GUR Telegram post from October 9, Russian intelligence services attempted to use deepfake technology to call Haluk Bayraktar, CEO of of Baykar Defense, the Turkish defense company providing Bayraktar drones to Ukraine. 2/5
GUR claimed that 🇷🇺 intel tried to impersonate Ukraine’s PM Denys Shmyhal in the video call with Bayraktar. However, instead of speaking with the Bayraktar executive, GUR said 🇷🇺 intel was connected to an “equally fake” individual impersonating a Bayraktar employee. Video ⬇️ 3/5

On this day in 2008, when I was doing groceries, Russia invaded Georgia. As the news on Georgian radio were nervously reporting about Russia’s bombing and killing civilians, I was already running to my parents’, with the only thought to see them. 1/9
I was listening to the radio on my smartphone, because along with Russia’s advance in Georgia, Moscow was targeting Georgian government & media websites with cyberattacks. It was my first time I witnessed disinfo campaigns, which were causing chaos & panic in real life. 2/9
Then, during the war, I saw the footages I will never forget - the footage that gave me hope we were not alone: Georgia’s friends came to Tbilisi to stand physically with Georgian people. The leaders of Estonia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, & Latvia in the heart of Tbilisi. 3/9

A crazy online battle is happening in Georgia: Dedaena Bar, a popular place in Tbilisi, is targeted by Russian internet users and the Georgians are trying to counter the organizied attack. 1/6
The bar is supporting Ukraine and protesting Russia's war. There are Ukrainian flags, the hand stamp for entering the bar says "Putin Khuilo", and the bar added so-called visas for Russian citizens willing to enter the bar: 2/6

Russian tourists visiting Georgia have started attacking the bar via leaving 1 star google reviews along with horrible comments. At this moment, there are thousands of Russian-language reviews and here're just two examples of them (translation below): 3/6

As Russians flee to Georgia, there appeared posters in Tbilisi, which "offer" necessary services to the citizens of Russia. To receive the information they should scan the QR code. After scanning, instead of the services, there appears info about Russia's aggression. 1/
Information about renting an apartment - the poster says you should scan the code for a discount. The QR code leads to a video showing a crying child alone leaving Ukraine. 2/
Information about music events - the poster says you should scan the code for a 20% discount. The QR code leads to the footage showing how Russia bombs Ukraine. 3/
