⚡️ Sweden’s Security Service warns that russia is preparing for more risky and unpredictable actions. According to the agency, russian agents have been tasked with mapping and documenting facilities critical to Sweden’s defense. Image
▫️ The kremlin’s collection of information on critical infrastructure may indicate a preparatory phase for potential sabotage or diversionary operations. This includes not only military sites, but also energy, transport, and digital infrastructure.
▫️ Sweden has valid grounds to consider russia a threat to its security. The country has repeatedly faced cyberattacks, recorded violations of its airspace by russian aircraft, and acts of sabotage targeting underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.
▫️ Additional unconventional tools of influence have also been identified: Swedish law enforcement previously exposed representatives of the russian orthodox church suspected of cooperating with russian military intelligence.
❗️ russia’s actions in Sweden demonstrate a systemic approach — from intelligence gathering to preparation and potential execution of sabotage. This confirms the expansion of the kremlin’s hybrid aggression against European countries, which is steadily increasing in scale.

▫️ The Director of Intelligence and National Threats of the Netherlands, Youssef Ait Daoud, calls this model "crime as a service": operations involve individuals without special training, who often do not understand that they are acting in favor of a foreign state.

⚡️Fake about casting agency Centrocast, allegedly connected to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming that "in 2010 it was involved in trafficking underage girls for J.Epstein"

Authors of publication themselves admit that the "evidence" mentioned in the video is currently "unavailable," which is a clear sign of creating an informational "bubble" without real basis.
✅ A check of the official U.S. Department of Justice registry (Epstein Library section) as of March 10, 2026, confirmed that there are no mentions of the Centrocast agency or individuals named in the fake investigation in the materials of the real Epstein case.

❗️OpenAI has exposed and shut down 🇷🇺 network “Rybar,” which used ChatGPT for mass propaganda production

Operators used ChatGPT to create batches of short English-language comments, which were then posted from accounts posing as users from various countries.
Additionally, the network used AI to develop commercial plans for “Rybar” to conduct covert information campaigns in Africa, including interference in electoral processes and incitement of protests. The estimated budget for these campaigns reached $600,000 per year.
