Moscow is launching an active phase of the information operation called Perun, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) reported on Telegram on Feb. 15.
Russia plans to involve foreign journalists, media personalities, and bloggers. The purpose of the operation is to justify aggression and cover Russia’s war against Ukraine using narratives that are favorable to the Kremlin.
HUR has not disclosed any other details. In particular, the names of foreign media outlets and the identities of journalists and bloggers involved in the operation have not yet been disclosed.
Not that they’re hard to spot.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
