00:00How reliable is Russia's new fact-checking outlet?

00:06In a bid to fight back against mass online disinformation,

00:10an increasing number of fact-checking outlets are cropping up online.

00:13While some are integrated into traditional newsrooms,

00:16others are standalone entities.

00:19But what happens when fact-checking websites

00:21become vehicles used to conceal propaganda campaigns?

00:24This is the case of the Global Fact-Checking Network,

00:27which started posting articles in April 2025.

00:31Although it may seem like a legitimate fact-checking website,

00:34in reality it is a Kremlin-backed disinformation tool.

00:37The organisation's name is very similar

00:39to the established International Fact-Checking Network,

00:42which is a reputable consortium of international fact-checkers.

00:45This is unlikely to be a coincidence.

00:48The co-founders of the outlet include Russian state news agency TASS,

00:51as well as Anno Dialogue, a non-governmental organisation

00:54which is under sanctions from the US and EU.

00:57The Kremlin's spokesperson for foreign affairs, Maria Zakharova,

01:00has said the platform's aim is to fight what she calls fake stories,

01:04as well as disinformation promoted by the West and biased fact-checkers.

01:08The Global Fact-Checking Network's website is available in English and Russian,

01:11listing a range of experts and participants

01:13who contribute to its fact-checking work.

01:16While the outlet is still relatively new,

01:18established fact-checking organisations have flagged factual mistakes

01:21and pro-Russian narratives in the outlet's articles.

01:25Many of the platform's contributors are known Russian propagandists,

01:29who have also worked for Kremlin-state-aligned outlets.

01:32For instance, one of its contributors is the African Initiative,

01:35which presents itself as a Russian news agency

01:37which covers events on the African continent.

01:40In reality, it has been classified as the main vehicle

01:42for Russia's disinformation activities in Africa

01:45by France's Agency for Foreign Digital Interference, Vignium.
