During this reporting period, the Russian disinformation machine demonstrated an explosive surge in activity, increasing manipulation volumes nearly sixfold compared to the previous week. The Kremlin continues its strategic line of undermining Ukraine's internal resilience, but has now shifted from general predictions of decay to aggressively inciting direct civil confrontation.
The primary tool of influence was a massive "appeal to fear," where real social challenges and the tragedies of war are transformed into evidence of an "inevitable catastrophe." Moscow seeks to convince Ukrainians that the greatest threat comes not from the aggressor, but from their own state, which is allegedly leading the country toward self-destruction.
