Dear readers,

Hoaxlines supports Ukraine as the front-line in the battle between democracy and autocracy globally. While we continue to monitor vaccine disinformation, we are diverting significant resources into doing whatever we can to help Ukraine. This includes disinformation monitoring, assessing social media platform responses, and supporting OSINT research.

If you would like to help Ukraine, the website savelife.in.ua is reputable. Jane Lytvynenko, a Ukrainian-born disinformation journalist, also compiled “a list of resources on how foreigners can help,” found here.

Stories about "Ukrainian Nazis" were rare before 2014 when they surged at the moment when Russia's plans faltered

We examined the surge in content discussing “Ukraine” and “Nazi” in far-left, far-right, hyperpartisan, and conspiracy theory websites during the Russian invasions of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. The findings suggest that the increased coverage of Ukraine-Nazi stories coincided with key events in the Kremlin-orchestrated invasions in both years, including protests, escalations, and strategic maneuvers. These media outlets amplified false Kremlin narratives that likely sought to justify Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Pro-Kremlin outlets boost content that casts doubt on Ukrainian rape victims

Hoaxlines • Aug 3, 2022 :::spoiler ::: Summary Pro-Kremlin media used the firing of an official to discredit Ukrainian rape victims, even though this official was not the only source of information. Two pieces of content that cited the same article were republished on many other websites. Russian intelligence controls at least one of the republishing websites. After articles from RT and Moon of Alabama came out on May 31, 2022, English-language websites started to publish content claiming Ukrainian reports of rape were not valid. Outlets backlinking to this story included those that Miburo, a malign influence research group, and the federal government have identified as part of the Russian propaganda and disinformation ecosystem. The Moon of Alabama article was linked to and mentioned significantly more often than the one from RT. The dismissive stories came out after the Ukrainian government let go of Lyudmila Denisova, a human rights official. Denisova “did not set up humanitarian corridors and the exchange of prisoners,” the Ukrainian government said. Instead, she focused on sharing stories about sexual assaults, for which she could not share evidence. This performance was unacceptable to the Ukrainian government.
