    The Kremlin is using a new troll factory to spread disinformation on social media and in comment sections of popular websites to try to manipulate public opinion about its war in Ukraine, a UK government-funded report showed.

    “Cyber soldiers” are targeting politicians and audiences across countries including the UK, South Africa and India, the report said.

    Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the government had alerted international partners to the troll factory, and “will continue to work closely with allies and media platforms to undermine Russian information operations”. The UK will share its findings with major social media platforms and has created an “information cell” to counter Russian disinformation.

    The operation uses Telegram, an encrypted communications app, to recruit and manage supporters who then target social media accounts of Kremlin critics, the government said in the statement. Senior UK ministers and other world leaders have been targeted.

    Western social media giants have limited the reach of Russian state-run media outlets in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Twitter is applying labels to Russian state-affiliated media outlets, and tweets from these accounts are no longer recommended in the Home timeline or in notifications.

    The European Union banned Russian outlets RT and Sputnik. Countries have also accused Moscow-backed groups of carrying out hacking attacks on Ukrainian organisations – including defense, IT and energy networks.

    The UK said the trolling operation has suspected links to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a restaurateur and tycoon from Vladimir Putin’s native St. Petersburg, who has been dubbed the president’s “chef” because he provides catering services to the Kremlin. US authorities have alleged he controlled a troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency.

    It seems the sensible thing to do is to just remove Pu as he is just wasting electrons, influencing nobody.

    Van der Voort rund the sad bastard who works on the IT service desk in Budapest is at least a person who provides some insight being a conduit for your stereotypical brainwashing of serfs in Hungary.

    This video shows that it is essential to drink enough wodka in Russia.
    Controlling drunk people is easier than controlling sober people.
    Make their living circumstances bad enought so that they drink to forget their misery.
    That applies to millions of Russians.
    No wonder that Putin orders that there should be enough wodka and that prices must stay low to make it available for the poor in abundance.

    That's because the west used gold standart & Russia is using Vodka standart.

    When they run out of it, the season of belaja gariacka begins and fights brake out on the streets, all over the Russia, over the remaining reserves.



    Note how @Van_der_Voort_4 is charging first into battle (blue pants)

    Chatting about the estimated 70 percent (it's higher but being conservative) of Russians who would die in the first week of a nuclear war and my sister-in-law who grew up in the USSR said.

    Perhaps if they add iodine to the vodka? Of course they did believe drinking vodka was a prophylactic near Chernobyl in soviet times.

    Laphroaig scotch perhaps which famously "tastes like a burning hospital" but they have sanctions now.
