What Russia tells British audiences
Narratives pushed at UK audiences by Russian state media and documented influence-operation outlets.
Amplifying the perception of systemic collapse and institutional failure in Britain
British state institutions, from the police to the military, are portrayed as degraded and incapable of performing their basic functions. Isolated incidents are inflated into nationwide catastrophes to convince citizens of the state's inevitable collapse.
Attributing the role of primary “warmonger” and obstacle to peace to the UK government
British authorities are accused of deliberately sabotaging peace negotiations and sacrificing Ukrainian lives for their own geopolitical interests. This manipulation portrays London as an aggressive party solely responsible for the breakdown of bilateral relations and the escalation of the conflict.
Stoking hostility by framing migration policy as “prioritising migrants over citizens”
British authorities are accused of deliberately neglecting border security and the interests of their own citizens in favour of illegal migrants. The manipulation relies on claims of law enforcement inaction and demands to provide housing for arrivals at taxpayers' expense.
