One bot. One day. Almost 1,400 comments amplifying pro-Kremlin narratives.

Now multiply that by 3,600+ accounts, and you’ll begin to see just a glimpse of how large-scale Russian propaganda operates across Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories.

The full report goes public next Wednesday, but if you want to get the findings first-hand, directly from the researchers behind the investigation, don’t miss our online event “Digital Occupation: Inside Russia’s Telegram Battle in Ukraine”.

Our CEO, @s_hnizdovskyi , will take part in an Oxford-style debate: “Should governments have the right to censor or control the Internet during cyber conflict?”

As peace talks advance around Ukraine, the Kremlin’s messaging is shifting — and here’s what we found in our new Russian Threat Index report.

[OpenMinds @openmindsglobal]

After a short-lived decline in early 2025, the Kremlin has doubled down — escalating its rhetoric and shifting its focus from the U.S. to Europe. What we’re seeing is not a move toward lasting peace, but a strategic recalibration of the threat narrative.
