The U.S. believes Russia has already recruited players for propaganda video showing 'staged false explosion with corpses, actors depicting mourners, and images of destroyed locations and military equipment.'
The U.S. has revealed new intelligence of a Russian plot to use a phony video as a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine.
The Biden administration has been redoubling its counterattacks against Russia's disinformation machine, reacting quickly to the storylines Moscow is churning out to undermine trust in Western democracy. U.S. officials registered a record-breaking number of efforts by Russian state media and proxies to push out anti-American and anti-Ukrainian content online, even as the Kremlin continues to threaten Ukraine by massing troops and equipment along the border.
Recently, Moscow's online armies have spun out wild tales of disinformation accusing the U.S. of hiring mercenaries to carry out a chemical attack plot and revisiting false narratives aligning Ukrainians with Nazism. Propaganda is flooding Telegram channels, according to the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center, a non-governmental organization backed by supporters of Ukraine's sovereignty. The group took note of one recently hatched claim that Ukraine and NATO are plotting an undercover operation code named"Crushing Sword.
Approximately 50 websites were defaced with a"much smaller number of organizations and IT infrastructures" suffering damage."Some external IT infrastructures were destroyed," the deputy chairman of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine told CBS News. "We consider this to be a psychological operation against Ukraine," Zhora said."It's about seeding chaos and instability," he added.
