Russia has deployed a widespread network of “trolls” aimed at undermining US support for Ukraine. Washington Post.
The network’s goal is to influence Congress and other political debates in order to fuel anti-Ukrainian sentiment. Bot farms have been churning out thousands of fabricated news articles, posts, and social media comments advocating for American isolationism.
The article highlights that Russia’s propaganda operations have become nearly as crucial as its military campaign in Ukraine, particularly as congressional approval of further aid is vital for Ukraine’s defense. Clint Watts, head of the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center, noted the significant impact of Russia’s program over the past decade, pointing out how it has influenced the debate in the US Congress regarding aid to Ukraine. He emphasized that previously, politicians in the US would not have questioned the importance of supporting Ukraine and NATO.
