00:00Как у Евро-Ньюс были имперсонаны в Интер-Олимпийском дисinformation кампании?
00:08Они выглядят просто как Евро-Ньюс сообщения о Винтер-Олимпийском в Милану-Кортина.
00:13Но они были фakes.
00:15Уже пять видео получили тысячи views на X и Телеграме
00:18по имперсонации Евро-Ньюсу на протяжении Германии.
00:22Эти clips используют Евро-Ньюс графики и брандинг,
00:25но имеют визуально-звезды и музыки, которые не belong в Евро-Ньюсу.
00:30Один видео миксит на bold и false claim
00:32that a Ukrainian refugee robbed a Евро-Ньюс crew at Milano-Кортина.
00:36Another alleges a Ukrainian interpreter fled the Ukrainian delegation,
00:41becoming the 52nd to do so.
00:43Other fake reports mix genuine Olympic events with fabricated allegations,
00:48including claims that Ukrainians committed vandalism
00:50or booked up all of the accommodation in Milan.
00:53There is no evidence to support these claims.
00:56Researchers from the collective Anti-Bot for Navalny
00:58say the videos are part of a large-scale Russian disinformation campaign.
01:02Their analysis shows at least 35 fake videos
01:05impersonating media brands and research organizations,
01:08such as E! News and Eurostat.
01:10At least one false video impersonating the Canadian network CBC News
01:15reached 1 million views.
01:16This campaign is often dubbed Matryoshka
01:19and has been linked by researchers to the Kremlin.
01:21The operation relies on impersonating official news organizations
01:24and research bodies to give way to false claims.
01:27There are recurring narratives and false stories spread by the network,
01:30which include presenting Ukrainians as aggressive and criminal,
01:34while also taking aim at the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
01:37But it's not the first time the network has targeted Euronews or the Olympics.
01:41Researchers uncovered a similar campaign around the Paris 2024 Olympics
01:45that spread false claims about Olympic organizers
01:47and French president Emmanuel Macron.
01:49Compared to this, the Milan effort is smaller in scale
01:51and focused only on Ukrainian athletes and refugees.
