The InfoLight.UA research and analysis group<\/strong> presents a new monthly product – the “Top Disinformation of the Month” study. In it, we will highlight the most serious, in our opinion, disinformation campaigns of the Russian Federation in the Ukrainian and global information field, with a special emphasis on those that have a long-term destructive effect. <\/p>\n\n

The research results will be presented in the form of infographics with additional explanations. <\/p>\n\n

1. THE ATTACK ON FEBRUARY 5<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

This campaign was launched immediately after the previous one failed – about \n “a major three-pronged offensive in February 2023”<\/a>\n<\/strong>which we studied. The peculiarity of the new campaign was the way it was spread – through the “horizontal” connections of the military: personal messages, group chats, chats of combat units, etc. This allowed it to spread quite substantially and at the same time go unnoticed by Ukrainian counterintelligence at the first stage. <\/p>\n\n

It has not yet been established through whom this information was introduced into the Ukrainian information space. Later, this information was published by telegram channels. <\/p>\n\n

2. BUDANOV KILLED THE MONASTERY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The former journalist, who is known for being the first to “receive official accreditation in the so-called DNR,” disseminated information from “reliable sources” that the helicopter carrying former Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky and his colleagues was shot down by an unknown Stinger system on the order of the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Kirill Budanov.<\/p>\n\n
