The news clip showed a towering blaze in a residential neighborhood in Germany, followed by a weeping homeowner giving an interview from the rubble of her burned-down house. A chyron at the bottom of the screen explained that Ukrainian refugees had set the fire, accidentally ravaging the home of their German hosts.
The video, which bore the logo of the German tabloid Bild, spread from a small YouTube account through the messaging app Telegram to Russian state media, until it could be found on nearly every major social platform, a forensic analysis later showed.
But it was a fake, with footage from unrelated events stitched together to form a bogus news report that cast Ukrainian refugees as feckless instigators wreaking havoc on the generous Germans who had taken them in.
As Russian forces continue to shell Ukrainian cities, pro-Kremlin propagandists have homed in on a new target: turning Europeans against the 7.8 million Ukrainian refugees who make up the continent’s largest displacement since World War II. In doing so, Russia’s disinformation merchants are needling at deep-seated European fault lines over immigration, echoing how Russia-linked operatives famously exploited major U.S. social media platforms to sow division around topics such as race ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Experts say the propaganda campaign, which Facebook parent company Meta has called “the largest and most complex Russian-origin operation that we’ve disrupted since the beginning of the war in Ukraine,” aims to stoke fear and divisions among Ukraine’s critical European allies as they brace for a new influx of refugees this winter. And while Europeans remain overwhelmingly supportive of fleeing Ukrainians, there are fears that Russian efforts to weaponize the issue may be finding their mark.

“Facebook parent company Meta has called “the largest and most complex Russian-origin operation that we’ve disrupted since the beginning of the war in Ukraine,””
This is rich. Facebook who helped steal the 2020 election from Trump is complaining that the Russians did far worse. The Ukrainians are demonizing themselves with no help from outsiders. Sounds like another Democrat controlled operation.
The wretched suckers are demonizing themselves by their own conduct.
Any civilized society is better off with a 100,000 Ukrainian refugees than 100 russians. Ukrainians are grateful and will work to integrate themselves and their children into the host society. The russians would act like entitled twats, expect everything to be handed to them and cry like bitches when their asses aren’t kissed, then demand putin annex wherever thy are living because it’s ‘russian-speaking’ now that they moved there. Useless, pathetic cunts, worse than arabs.
“The wretched suckers are demonizing themselves by their own conduct.”
Well put, that’s what I’m hearing too.
Clumsy disinformation operation by the Biden Regime’s Prog Socialist Democrat Propaganda arm, the MSM Liars, Washington Post office.
Hmmmm... That sounds like your typical dimorat.. You know, the ones who are in charge of our nation...
I’ve had personal dealings with both Ukrainians and russians. Similar language but completely different mentality.
WaPo is certainly a Clumsy disinformation operation.
Go TROLL elsewhere
Bkmk
Some of the better Russians are linked to Ukraine. In some rural areas around Rostov Ukrainian is spoken. But it is so crazy that so many Russians back Putin with the simple-mindedness of Hitler youth.
She got caught because she forgot to give the “Big Guy” his 10%
Yeah, I trust the Washington Post doing the lame leftist “disinformation” mantra. 🙄😂
