"In February this year, reports surfaced on Twitter and Facebook that the
Ukrainian government was undertaking a mass genocide of civilians. Around the
same time, conspiracy theorists began saying Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelenskyy was an agent of the “New World Order”.
These claims have been thoroughly debunked, but not before attracting millions
of views and offering a purported justification for Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine. More recently, Russian and Chinese officials have claimed the United
States has funded bioweapons research in Ukraine.
Social media has played a crucial role in the spread of these and other false
claims. We have identified a network of dozens of Russian government Twitter
accounts using a loophole in the platform’s rules to run a coordinated program
of disinformation."
