Behind every Russian missile strike comes a wave of manipulation and lies spread by Russian officials and propagandists.


On the night of June 15, 2026, Russia launched one of the largest attacks against Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war: 70 missiles and more than 700 drones struck targets across the country. Among the sites hit were the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Mystetskyi Arsenal, an architectural monument of national significance.

In 2026, there are far fewer labor migrants in Ukraine than before the full-scale war. Yet there are far more disputes and manipulations about an alleged “influx of foreigners” who, in reality, are not coming here. We examined what triggers these waves.


On May 11, 2026, a petition was submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers demanding that the government “protect the national labor market” from migrants. It has already gathered ...

Russians portray the attacks on Ukraine as “retaliation” for the strike on Starobilsk.


On the night of May 24, 2026, Russia carried out one of the largest combined aerial attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, radio engineering troops detected up to 690 aerial attack assets — around 600 strike drones and more than 80 missiles of various types, including the RS-26 Rubezh ...

In 2026, Russia’s overseas campaign has firmly cemented its role as a mechanism of influence and propaganda logistics.


Ahead of May 9, 2026, Moscow officially received “permission” to hold its Victory Day parade within the coordinates of Red Square designated by a decree from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Although the Kremlin dismissed the move as “clownery,” it ultimately adhered to Kyiv’s recommendations and confined all the Pobedobesie (“victory mania”) ...

The Kremlin does not simply spread disinformation — it tailors it to different audiences.

A Finnish software company, Check First, together with the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) at the Atlantic Council, analyzed the technical structure of the “Pravda” websites. Their findings point to a massive and ...

Telegram channels are counting potential losses from an advertising ban, while “patriotic” bloggers complain about a “stab in the back of the front.”


On February 10, 2026, Russia began tightening restrictions on Telegram. The Russian regulator, Roskomnadzor, confirmed that it is continuing to introduce gradual technical limitations on the service due to the platform's leadership’s “failure to comply with Russian legislation.” According to sources cited by several Russian ...
