russia continues its coordinated disinformation campaign against Ukrainians in the context of the World Cup, launching new fakes into the information space.<\/p>\n
pro-russian resources are spreading a fake video alleging that Ukrainian fans committed a violent attack on Israelis after the first match of the World Cup. Supposedly, 20 Israeli citizens were injured by Ukrainians.<\/p>\n
This disinformation is being presented as a video report by the Canadian television network CTV News. However, there is no such material on the media’s official resources. There is also no confirmation from the World Cup organizers or official representatives of the Ukrainian delegation regarding the “unlawful behavior of Ukrainian fans”.<\/p>\n
The falsification of stories from well-known Western media is a long-standing tactic of russian propaganda. In particular, it is systematically used by the disinformation network “matryoshka”, which specializes in forging videos and news under the brands of authoritative international information resources and organizations. The idea of fakes itself is not new. For example, russian propaganda actively launched various disinformation campaigns about Ukrainians during the 2026 Olympics.<\/p>\n
The aim of such a disinformation campaign is to create a negative image of Ukrainians as a dysfunctional community and to discredit Ukraine on the international stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
