#Russian propaganda

Russia wages war on Ukraine not only with tanks and missiles, but with paperwork, orphanages, and name changes targeting a generation of young Ukrainians—abducting them, militarizing them, and preparing them to fight against their own home. How does Russia transform stolen Ukrainian children into tools of its war and where are they now?

Before Russian missiles strike Ukraine’s hospitals or train stations, the lie is already in place. Researchers have uncovered a coordinated disinformation tactic known as an “information alibi,” used to deflect blame and obscure responsibility for war crimes. Now, efforts to hold the propagandists behind these deceptions criminally accountable are underway.
