Russia’s information war will peak in the ‘coming weeks’, Ukraine warns
Russia’s information war will peak in the “coming weeks”, the Ukrainian intelligence department has warned.
Late last year, Ukraine reported Moscow had launched the Maidan-3 special operation which aimed to spread anti-Ukrainian messages online.
In a Telegram post today, it said the plan had cost $1.5bn and was “the most expensive action of the Russian special services in history”.
It warned the operation will “reach its climax” in March or May.
“During the coming weeks, the enemy will make every effort to spread narratives destructive to global security and attempts to incite conflicts – both inside Ukraine and in other parts of the world, where there is effective support of Ukraine,” it said.
It explained the campaign will aim to “spread panic” and to “artificially contrast civilians and military”.
