NewsGuard has identified 471 websites spreading false narratives about the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with false claims ranging from Ukrainian genocide to alleged Nazi influence. These narratives, often promoted by the Kremlin’s disinformation apparatus, aim to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While some sites are official Russian state media sources, others are not directly affiliated but still support Putin’s government. NewsGuard’s team monitors these sites and tracks their dissemination of propaganda through various digital platforms since 2018.

The Kremlin has been engaging in information manipulation and disinformation campaigns against Ukraine since at least 2014, manufacturing false pretexts for invasion. Despite this, Ukraine has shown resilience in defending its values of freedom and sovereignty against Russia’s aggression and disinformation. The international community must support Ukraine’s struggle while actively dismantling the false narratives propagated by Russia. Despite initial expectations of a quick victory, the conflict persists both on the battlefield and in the realm of information warfare. Efforts such as those by EUvsDisinfo to expose Kremlin lies are essential in countering the ongoing disinformation surrounding the war.
