⚡️russian media are massively spreading the “news” that “the West has recognized russia’s victory in cyberwar against Ukraine.” They cite the English-language site Strategic Culture as the source of this “sensation.” Image
▫️In reality, Strategic Culture is not a Western media outlet, but a russian propaganda resource registered in the .su domain (former ussr).
As early as 2019, European project EU vs Disinfo noted that the site disguises itself as an “analytical center,” but is actually run from russia, with authors promoting kremlin narratives ranging from “NATO provocations” to denial of responsibility for the downing of flight MH17.
▫️The article cited by kremlin media claims an alleged “hack of Ukrainian government servers” and “1.7 million Ukrainian military casualties.” The Center has debunked this fake.
‼️Goal of this campaign is simple: to create the illusion of international recognition of “russia’s successes,” reinforcing falsehoods with supposedly “independent Western sources.” In this way, the enemy seeks to undermine trust in Ukraine’s cyber defense and demoralize society.

⚡️ Analysts monitoring kremlin hybrid operations on social media have recorded a surge in activity from the “matryoshka” bot network on X: bots spread a series of fake videos styled as Western media content. Image
These videos accuse Germany of allegedly preparing for war with russia and attempt to scare Germans with threats of “their country’s destruction.”

Artificial intelligence is used to create these videos.
One claims that Germans “fear having children because of the war,” while another states that “German television systematically prepares society for conflict with russia.”

Fake “surveys” and fabricated expert quotes are also circulated.

❗️Fake about the "geolocation leak" by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and "electronics production for rockets and drones in Mukachevo" Image
Enemy TG channels spread photos and statements that the President of Ukraine allegedly visited a factory in Mukachevo where electronics for drones and rockets were produced, after which the enterprise was "destroyed" by russians.
✅ In fact, photos posted on the official website of the Office of the President of Ukraine clearly state: The Head of State spoke with employees of one of the enterprises in the Kyiv region, where Ukrainian weapons are made "smart" – electronics are manufactured.

⚡️ russian propaganda spreads a fake about the “death of a Latvian border guard due to a mine explosion.” russian propagandists claim that this is the “first victim after Latvia’s withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention.” Image
This information is not true. There are no reports of such an incident in the Latvian press, nor any official statements. The fake about the “Latvian border guard killed by a mine” was first spread at the end of July this year by a pro-russian blogger who left Latvia for belarus.
Later, he deleted this statement from his social media. Now this story has been “revived” through russian media.

In reality, there are currently no anti-personnel mines on the Latvian border.

⚡️ russia has significantly escalated hybrid attacks, with the main targets being the critical infrastructure of European countries. This is stated in a report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). Image
▫️These are not isolated incidents but a systematic kremlin campaign. Since 2022, after the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the number of sabotage operations has sharply increased. In 2024 alone, incidents quadrupled compared to the previous year (33 incidents).
In 2025, 11 attacks have already been recorded. The methods of russian intelligence include arson, damage to undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, GPS interference, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and more.

❗️Information about 1.7 million dead and missing Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the war against russia is FAKE. Image
Pro-kremlin propaganda resources spread claims that russian hackers hacked the database of the Ukrainian General Staff and obtained information about "1.7 million dead and missing Ukrainian soldiers" since the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine.
✅ In reality, this is an absolutely absurd fake, as Ukraine has never had a regular army of 1.7 million people since independence. As of January 2025, according to the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the size of the Ukrainian army was 880 thousand people.

⚡ru-propaganda continues to discredit the negotiations and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy by spreading fakes about his alleged “luxurious assets” and supposed bribery by the West: “a castle in Britain and a Swiss bank account in exchange for concessions in peace talks” Image
In reality, all these “assets” are fabricated. None of the outlets mentioned in the fakes have confirmed any purchase of castles, mansions, or apartments abroad by Zelenskyy or his family.
For example, The London Crier, which allegedly reported on the “royal castle,” was created only a few days before the fake was published. Other so-called “sources” turned out to be anonymous blogs or websites with AI-generated content.
