Following Trump's victory, Russia is widely spreading anti-Ukrainian misinformation in the U.S., according to media reports.

Following the presidential elections in the United States, Russia has initiated a new disinformation campaign aimed at undermining support for Ukraine among Americans. This is reported by AP, as noted by UNN.

Details

The publication highlights that the Kremlin is utilizing state media, as well as fake news websites and social media accounts, to promote narratives that create divisions within American society.

For instance, they circulated a fabricated video showing "Ukrainian soldiers" burning a Trump effigy. In other videos, alleged Ukrainian Armed Forces members are seen shooting at a mannequin wearing a red hat emblazoned with "Make America Great Again," burning books of the newly elected president, and referring to him as a coward. Several researchers have debunked these videos, pointing out signs of digital manipulation.

The publication states that within weeks of the elections, these videos spread far beyond Ukraine and Russia, circulating among Trump supporters and adherents of the conspiracy theory "QAnon."

Analysts indicate that the content, translated into English for American audiences, is intended to rekindle anti-Ukraine sentiments at a critical juncture, with hopes of reducing U.S. military aid and ensuring a victory for Russia.

Reminder

Russian propaganda channels continue to actively disseminate "reports" from Syria, attempting to construct a fictional narrative linking Ukraine to the escalation of security issues in that country.
