.@DFRLab collected open-source satellite imagery to document missile strikes on an industrial plant in the north of #Bakhmut. Analysis of the damage inflicted reveals that potential missiles struck buildings in two different industrial plants.

Possibly driven by a desire to produce better results than the Wagner Group, Russian forces continue to advance on Vuhledar and Bakhmut. A UK report purports that the ongoing offensive operations are provoking a competition between the different units.

The @DFRLab confirmed Russia has intensified its air power in recent weeks. Satellite imagery indicated Russia’s air force have increased aerial activity in Crimea.
These findings are consistent with @bradyafr who identified seven different instances of aircraft located in southern Ukraine.
On the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, #RussianWarReport🇷🇺 shares the top lines of @DFRLab's new reports on Russian narratives. Even a year later, Russia is pushing narratives meant to undermine Ukraine and foment further regional conflicts. 🧵👇atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
The first of @DFRLab's two new reports, “Narrative Warfare” examines how the Kremlin and Russian news outlets justified a war of aggression through employing false and misleading narratives for the weeks and months leading up to the invasion. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
The narratives laid out in the report served as Putin’s cases belli and were referenced hundreds of times throughout his February 24, 2022 speech announcing Russia’s “special military operation."
@DFRLab broke down his speech to expose these narratives: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

In today’s second report, Russian information operations tried to undermine Ukrainian resistance and support among Ukraine’s allies. These operations are meant to shape public opinion against Ukraine and the West, including in Africa and Latin America. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
One Russian tactic embraced was tried and true: bombarding the information space with so many fake theories and denials of the atrocities they'd committed in Ukraine via outlets like Sputnik and RT that it was that much more difficult for people to differentiate fact and fiction.
Newer strategies involved tactics like "false debunking," inventing fake claims to then debunk those very claims, and hacking foreign media to spread disinformation. Russia also famously created a deepfake of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy calling on Ukrainians to give up.
In today’s #RussianWarReport🇷🇺, @DFRLab's team reports on Russia’s advance in Bakhmut, a captured Russian spy, crazed tank narratives, and new Russian maps that include parts of Ukraine.

After gaining control over Soledar in mid-January, Wagner Group soldiers are attempting to encircle #Bakhmut. @DFRLab confirmed the progression of a bloc of forces that includes Wagner, the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic, and Russian armed forces. 
Ukrainian intelligence announced the capture of a Russian agent who allegedly leaked info on Ukrainian military operations. He was allegedly recruited after the invasion.

Russia’s offensive on Ukraine's eastern and southern fronts have intensified as Ukraine prepares to receive tanks from allies. Meanwhile, pro-Kremlin sources are amplifying forged diplomatic letters targeting refugees.

As Ukrainian forces retreated from Soledar following weeks of battle, shelling across the Bakhmut-Donetsk axis intensified and hit several civilian residential areas. @DFRLab and others geolocated targeted infrastructure and a build up of Russian assets.
Fighting across the war’s southern front suggests Russian progression in several areas including Stepove, Polohy, and Kherson. These battles come as Ukraine prepares for a spring offensive of their own. english.elpais.com/international/…

Russian forces targeted infrastructure in #Kyiv, #Odesa, #Vinnytsia, #Sumy, & #Zaporizhzhia. That same day, Ukrainian forces shot down 60 of 70+ Russian missiles. However, data suggests that Russia is not striking Ukraine w/ the same intensity as at the beginning of the invasion.
Earlier this week, several people were killed in explosions at two Russian military airfields. Russia accused Ukraine of using a drone to strike Russian targets hundreds of kilometers from the border. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

@NATO @UN Russian forces are relocating units and assets to the east bank of the Dnipro River, most likely for redeployment in other directions. #Kherson civilians were urged evacuate. Elite units are reportedly still operating on the west bank of the Dnipro River. t.me/hueviyherson/2…

One of the biggest tools at our team’s disposal was our ability to quickly and effectively geolocate Russian equipment as it moved across #Russia to its border with #Ukraine and into #Belarus last January. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

On May 11, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a Russian unit trying to cross the strategically important river of Siversky Donets in the #Donbas region. @DFRLab confirmed the genuine nature of the @DefenceU’s photos.
@DefenceU In one estimation, #Ukraine destroyed a Russian pontoon bridge and least 6 tanks, 14 BMP armored vehicles, 7 MT-LB amphibious vehicles, a tugboat and 5 other armored vehicles. A separate calculation by @Blue_Sauron showed 73 pieces of Russian equipment destroyed or abandoned.
