By Julia Davis, for CEPA The fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a solemn occasion for state TV’s propagandists. Their long faces gave away just how much things have changed. On February 21, 2022, Margarita Simonyan, head of RT, a Kremlin propaganda outlet, demanded champagne in the studio and described her euphoria about the […]

By EUvsDisinfo Over the past week, pro-Kremlin FIMI outlets smeared Ukrainian athletes at the Olympics, declared France on the road to authoritarianism, and tried to deflect attention from a report on Navalny’s poisoning by pointing to the Epstein files. And that was just the beginning. Let’s have a look. For the Kremlin, disinformation is a […]

By Peter Dickinson, for UkraineAlert As the world marks the fourth anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale Ukraine invasion this week, we can expect to see plenty of praise in the international media for the remarkable resilience of the Ukrainian people. This is thoroughly deserved. After all, whether we’re talking about holding back one of the world’s most […]

By EUvsDisinfo If history is the assembled repository of records from the past, culture is the process that brings it to life. The repository can be curated, files omitted, branches deleted — reshaping what appears authoritative. In Ukraine’s case, altered archives and displaced artefacts sought to impose a different version of the past. Yet culture does not […]

In fact, the United Nations has formally documented war crimes in Bucha through multiple reports issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. These investigations confirm extrajudicial executions, supported by satellite imagery and forensic analysis. Claims based on “anonymous conversations in the corridors” are being circulated to cast doubt on […]

By EUvsDisinfo Throughout 2025, Russian officials were repeatedly shut out of the governing bodies of international organisations – a direct consequence of Kremlin’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine and its escalating campaign of hybrid interference worldwide. A glimpse of what’s to come? 2025 was a bad year for Russia’s international standing. As Andrii Sybiha, […]

By Centre for Strategic Communication Over the course of the full-scale war, the quality and depth of Ukraine-NATO relations have fundamentally transformed. Today, Ukraine is regarded not only as a recipient of military assistance but also as a contributor of unique operational experience. This extends beyond tactics and strategies implemented directly on the battlefield to […]

By Peter Dickinson, for UkraineAlert More than a year since he returned to the White House vowing to end the Russia-Ukraine War within 24 hours, US President Donald Trump remains upbeat about the prospect of peace. “Very, very good talks today,” Trump stated on February 6 following the latest round of negotiations in Abu Dhabi. “Something could […]

By EUvsDisinfo The Kremlin blames others for not extending The New START Treaty. But Moscow played a big role in undermining the Treaty long before its demise. On 6 February 2026, The New START Treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty, expired. As that happened, the Kremlin both launched and continued FIMI campaigns that sought […]

The video attributed to Bellingcat is fabricated, and there is no evidence that Ukraine’s president ever planned to address the Olympic opening ceremony. The clip appears to be part of a broader disinformation push tied to the Games, in which pro-Kremlin actors circulated a series of falsified videos designed to insert misleading narratives into the […]

Boris Pistorius said Germany is exhausting available options to sustain military support for Ukraine, including reassessing its own weapons stockpiles, while signaling that Berlin may increasingly shift toward financing Ukrainian procurement if domestic reserves fall short. The defense minister also urged European partners to step up contributions, arguing that maintaining Ukraine’s defense effort will require […]

Heraskevych’s memorial helmet bears portraits of 22 Ukrainian athletes who died during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Russian media and Telegram channels began to spread information that Ukrainian athlete Vladislav Heraskevych’s helmet is decorated with “terrorist organization symbols” and “Ukrainian Armed Forces warriors,” which is allegedly a gross violation of Olympic principles and propaganda for war. Therefore, […]

Some young people resist Kremlin pressure to create a generation of Putin-supporting nationalists. The West must recognize and support them. By Olga Prokopieva, for CEPA “Wars are not won by generals, but by schoolteachers,” Vladimir Putin said in 2023, in a statement that has become a cornerstone of his approach to youth indoctrination. The regime is […]

By EUvsDisinfo For decades, television was considered the primary mouthpiece of propaganda. The digital age, however, has elevated a new and potentially more dangerous instrument of influence: video games. Under the guise of entertainment, they shape worldviews and political narratives, making propaganda subtle, scalable, and effective. Unlike passive media, video games offer players not only […]

Ukraine does not carry out drafting measures among ethnic Hungarians or other national minorities. Reports of «ethnic cleansing in Ukraine» are narratives of Russian propaganda. There is not a single clause in the Ukrainian law «On Mobilization Training and Mobilization» that would divide citizens on ethnic, religious or linguistic grounds. In addition, the ranks of […]

By EUvsDisinfo As Wikipedia approaches its 25th anniversary in 2026, its open editing model faces a growing challenge: coordinated edit wars. In these campaigns, Kremlin-aligned actors try to rewrite history, launder disinformation, and lock distorted narratives into one of the world’s most trusted reference platforms. Founded on the idea that volunteers could collaboratively build a […]

State security agencies are amplifying warnings to enemies of the state using compliant pro-Kremlin journalists. By Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan, for CEPA The Kremlin-controlled TV channel Rossiya 1 aired a documentary under the dramatic title Predatelstvo (High Treason) in early February. The program’s structure was fairly simple — essentially a series of interviews with prisoners accused of “terrorist” attacks […]

The emergency situation in Ukraine’s power grid is a direct consequence of Russia’s barbaric policy of destroying Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Ukraine is fully synchronized with the European power grid, so technological problems in a country’s system could affect the system of a neighboring state. Amid power outages in several Ukrainian regions and neighboring Moldova, Russian […]
