It seems Russian forces in Ukraine were heavily dependent on American technology.
Unauthorized Starlink terminals were used for battlefield communication, drones, and logistics. When the connections were cut, coordination faltered and Ukraine quickly exploited it.
euvsdisinfo.eu/starlink-shu...
Russian state-funded Sputnik claims that "Shutdown of Starlink Terminals Has No Effect on Russian Troops".
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces liberated more territory than they lost in the last two weeks of February 2026, the first time since summer of 2023.
Just a coincidence?
Russia’s information operations operate as a layered system:
1. Officials introduce core narratives.
2. State media amplify them.
3. Seemingly independent outlets advance Kremlin interests.
4. Hidden networks & social accounts echo & boost the same stories, forming coordinated influence operations.

Life under Russian occupation is not only a military reality – it is an information siege. How does this system of digital control actually work – and what does it do to people forced to live inside it?
Russian state funded Sputnik International falsely claims the Ukrainian military has lost 1.5 million soldiers since 2022 and 520,000 in 2025 alone.
And what do they back this up with? Absolutely nothing.
A widely quoted 2026 CSIS report put the figure at 600,000 casualties.
Once again, RT is claiming that Ukrainians are resorting to “witchcraft” and “black magic” to win the war.
No, it is not an op-ed. It is an actual “news” article on a state-controlled international channel. And it is 100% BS.
Russia was supposed to capture Kyiv in 3 days. Four years later,they are advancing at a snail’s pace.
"Three Days That Never Came" is a mini-documentary about Ukrainian resistance & courage against Russian aggression. It also shows how Ukraine adapted in the information space.

Russia loves to portray its military as “invincible.” Since 2014, Ukraine has shown it’s more of a paper bear, and its battlefield progress has largely stalled.
Discover three long running myths behind Russia’s “invincible” image:

The Kremlin struggles to invent new false stories, so it mostly recycles old ones.
Here are the five most common false narratives about Ukraine that pro-Russia media, influencers and channels are spreading today:

As expected, the Kremlin is attempting to link President Zelenskyy to the Epstein files and human trafficking.
Unlike Putin, named in the files over 1,000 times, Zelenskyy appears only a few times, and none suggest any link to Epstein or human trafficking.

According to TASS, EU sanctions have supposedly turned Europe into a wasteland where the only thing left to eat is… worms.
In reality, supermarkets are full, and people are still buying bread, wine, and pasta. Once again, the Kremlin does what it does best: lies.

Kremlin has a long tradition of anti-Western & anti-Ukraine influence and FIMI campaigns in Africa, while blaming Europe & Ukraine for “destabilizing” the continent. Recently it accused France & Ukraine of supporting terrorist groups, without any evidence.

A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative blames Ukraine and France for Russia’s full-scale invasion, and some Russian bloggers even call for assassinating their leaders.
Russia began the war in 2014 with the illegal annexation of Crimea and expanded it into a full-scale invasion in 2022.
Inspections and seizures of suspected sanctions-busting tankers have intensified across European waters.
Pro-Kremlin narratives portray these actions as confrontation.
In reality, they are lawful enforcement responses to sanctions evasion and maritime risk.

Global risk reports agree on a clear message: FIMI, disinformation and misinformation have become systemic threats to democracies, economic stability and social cohesion. Strong public-interest media are a critical defence.

Another false Kremlin claim on Moldova’s energy security.
The facts:
▪️ Moldova stores ~22–23 million m³ of gas in Ukraine as strategic reserves
▪️ Moldova’s Energy Ministry confirmed the gas is safe
▪️ One Russian missile hit the Lviv region — no evidence of damage to gas storage
Think Telegram is playing by the rules? Think again!
From masked channels to using diplomatic status as legal cover, discover how Russian FIMI is slipping through the cracks of EU regulations.

Since it cannot win on the battlefield, Russia has relentlessly bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, weaponising hunger and basic human needs. Forcing Ukraine into surrender through civilian suffering appears to have become Russia’s central strategy in the war.

A gentle reminder that Vladimir Putin rejected all peace deals in 2025, and would therefore be a horrible pick for any "Board of Peace".
In 2026, the Russian economy is not yet in decline, but it is in real trouble.

Pro-Kremlin outlets claim that “Bloomberg praised the ruble’s 2025 performance.”
In reality, Bloomberg warned that the unusually strong ruble could actually HURT Russia’s economy. As usual, Moscow is bending the truth and strips away the key context.
