How Russian misinformation has shaped perceptions of the war
hree weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine last Feb. 24, a video appeared on a Ukrainian news site that seemed to show President Volodymyr Zelensky imploring his fellow countrymen to stop fighting and urging soldiers to lay down their weapons.
The video—a crude deepfake that had been posted by hackers—was quickly taken down and debunked. It was dismissed by the real Zelensky as a “childish provocation,” and roundly mocked online as an example of Russia’s desperate and often cartoonish attempts to spread fake news.
This screenshot from report"Undermining Ukraine: How the Kremlin Employs Information Operations to Erode Global Confidence in Ukraine" shows examples of conspiracy theories claiming Zelensky left Ukraine.In pursuit of that goal, the Kremlin targeted everyone from Ukrainian citizens to right-wing groups in the U.S.
Before Putin ordered tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, the Kremlin spent years seeding false narratives to justify military action. When the invasion began, the effort kicked into overdrive. Ukrainian researchers were taken aback by the volume of false information in the war’s opening weeks.
