By Timothy Snyder, for EUvsDisinfo This article reflects key arguments from a debate hosted by the European External Action Service (EEAS) on 16 January 2026 Ukraine is central to European history One of the most persistent distortions in discussions about Russia’s war against Ukraine is the assumption that Ukraine is historically marginal, an “edge case” […]

By EUvsDisinfo This week, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service rehashed old claims that European countries were planning to give Ukraine a nuclear weapon. FIMI narratives accused Ukraine and the United Kingdom of planning pipeline sabotages. And lastly, unfounded claims were spread about the Gulf states asking Russia to become the guarantor of peace in the […]

By EUvsDisinfo Have you ever paused at a glossy video promising that somewhere out there, families flourish effortlessly, women glow with confidence, and there are simply no gender issues to speak of? A growing chorus of YouTubers and lifestyle commentators, often paid by the Kremlin, paints precisely that picture of Russia. In their telling, it is […]

China’s Digital Silk Road has become a central channel through which Beijing engages Global South countries on digital infrastructure and, increasingly, artificial intelligence.

Euronews did not publish such a story. Propagandistists generated voiceovers using artificial intelligence, supplemented them with stock footage, and edited them together with a fragment of a real Euronews video A video with the Euronews television channel logo is spreading online. In it, a reporter from Dubai allegedly claims that the biggest threat facing the […]

The claim does not appear on any of USA Today’s official platforms, and Parker Hempel, the ISW analyst cited in the video, has no record of making the statements attributed to him. Iran’s missile arsenal draws exclusively from Soviet and North Korean design lineages, and U.S.-manufactured systems are mechanically incompatible with Iranian launch infrastructure. The […]

New reports underline how Chinese artificial intelligence models spout distortions about Ukraine and more. By Sarah Cook, for CEPA The Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service’s 2026 International Security Report contained a startling finding. It tested the Chinese open-source AI model DeepSeek for biased or incomplete answers.   “When discussing issues related to Estonia’s security, DeepSeek conceals key information and inserts Chinese propaganda […]

By Julia Davis, for CEPA The fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a solemn occasion for state TV’s propagandists. Their long faces gave away just how much things have changed. On February 21, 2022, Margarita Simonyan, head of RT, a Kremlin propaganda outlet, demanded champagne in the studio and described her euphoria about the […]

By EUvsDisinfo Over the past week, pro-Kremlin FIMI outlets smeared Ukrainian athletes at the Olympics, declared France on the road to authoritarianism, and tried to deflect attention from a report on Navalny’s poisoning by pointing to the Epstein files. And that was just the beginning. Let’s have a look. For the Kremlin, disinformation is a […]

By Peter Dickinson, for UkraineAlert As the world marks the fourth anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale Ukraine invasion this week, we can expect to see plenty of praise in the international media for the remarkable resilience of the Ukrainian people. This is thoroughly deserved. After all, whether we’re talking about holding back one of the world’s most […]

By EUvsDisinfo If history is the assembled repository of records from the past, culture is the process that brings it to life. The repository can be curated, files omitted, branches deleted — reshaping what appears authoritative. In Ukraine’s case, altered archives and displaced artefacts sought to impose a different version of the past. Yet culture does not […]

In fact, the United Nations has formally documented war crimes in Bucha through multiple reports issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. These investigations confirm extrajudicial executions, supported by satellite imagery and forensic analysis. Claims based on “anonymous conversations in the corridors” are being circulated to cast doubt on […]

By EUvsDisinfo Throughout 2025, Russian officials were repeatedly shut out of the governing bodies of international organisations – a direct consequence of Kremlin’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine and its escalating campaign of hybrid interference worldwide. A glimpse of what’s to come? 2025 was a bad year for Russia’s international standing. As Andrii Sybiha, […]

By Centre for Strategic Communication Over the course of the full-scale war, the quality and depth of Ukraine-NATO relations have fundamentally transformed. Today, Ukraine is regarded not only as a recipient of military assistance but also as a contributor of unique operational experience. This extends beyond tactics and strategies implemented directly on the battlefield to […]

By Peter Dickinson, for UkraineAlert More than a year since he returned to the White House vowing to end the Russia-Ukraine War within 24 hours, US President Donald Trump remains upbeat about the prospect of peace. “Very, very good talks today,” Trump stated on February 6 following the latest round of negotiations in Abu Dhabi. “Something could […]

By EUvsDisinfo The Kremlin blames others for not extending The New START Treaty. But Moscow played a big role in undermining the Treaty long before its demise. On 6 February 2026, The New START Treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty, expired. As that happened, the Kremlin both launched and continued FIMI campaigns that sought […]

The video attributed to Bellingcat is fabricated, and there is no evidence that Ukraine’s president ever planned to address the Olympic opening ceremony. The clip appears to be part of a broader disinformation push tied to the Games, in which pro-Kremlin actors circulated a series of falsified videos designed to insert misleading narratives into the […]

Boris Pistorius said Germany is exhausting available options to sustain military support for Ukraine, including reassessing its own weapons stockpiles, while signaling that Berlin may increasingly shift toward financing Ukrainian procurement if domestic reserves fall short. The defense minister also urged European partners to step up contributions, arguing that maintaining Ukraine’s defense effort will require […]
