russia promotes information campaign "linking" Ukraine to the terrorist attack in "Crocus" - Center for Countering Disinformation
Kyiv • UNN
Russia is promoting an information campaign that falsely links Ukraine to the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Mall, citing statements by pro-Russian journalists and bloggers.
Fake theses about the alleged "involvement of Ukraine in the terrorist attack" in the posts of journalists and bloggers who consistently promote Russian narratives are increasingly being spread by the occupying country. In particular, we are talking about the statements of such persons as the Italian-Swiss journalist Angelo Giuliano, who talks about the terrorist attack of the "Ukranian Nazi regime with the support of the United States"; as well as the American blogger Jack Posobiec and German entrepreneur Kim Dotko, who are trying to prove Ukraine's involvement in the terrorist attack in Russia.
This is reported by UNN with reference to the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council.
Russian propaganda has launched an information campaign aimed at "linking" Ukraine to the Crocus terrorist attack, particularly in the eyes of the West.
Details
Posts by European and American journalists and bloggers who consistently promote Russian narratives:
Italian-Swiss journalist Angelo Giuliano, who claims that the attack was carried out by the "Ukranian Nazi regime with the support of the United States." Giuliano himself lives in Hong Kong and regularly promotes clear pro-Russian messages;
American blogger Jack Posobiec, who is a supporter of conspiracy theories and consistently promotes theses in the United States that are in line with Russian ones.
German entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, who is trying to prove Ukraine's involvement in the terrorist attack through Zelensky's "body language." Dotcom has been accused by US law enforcement of money laundering and fraud, and he regularly spreads pro-Russian narratives.
Recall
Russian subversive groups unsuccessfully attempted to land on the Ukrainian-controlled right bank of the Kherson region, but Russian media falsely presented it as a successful "landing" operation.
