Titled COVID-19 as a Tool of Information Confrontation: Russia’s Approach, the article claims Russia is waging a war of disinformation centering around the COVID-19 pandemic.

, the article claims Russia is waging a war of disinformation centering around the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tricky narrative relies on the spreading of elaborate conspiracy theories aimed to create a sense of distrust against the west. They’re doing so by using Russian outlets and information platforms to give "evidence" the virus was created in America in order to halt the economic growth of China. The E.U.’s External Action Service has reported almost 80 incidents of COVID-19-related disinformation since Jan. 22.

pot calling the kettle black, eh CTV?

Funny how western news generalizes 'Russia' as if it's not a country of 146 million people. Russia is not just Putin, Boris and Natalia. Anything considered 'propaganda' comes from all countries, every day.

More bullshit from people who should know better.

VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS PULLED OFF THE GREATEST THIEFT IN RUSSIAN HISTORY !!! 🇷🇺 VLADIMIR PUTIN NET WORTH IS 200+ BILLION DOLLARS 🇺🇸 !!! THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA 🇷🇺 DESERVE BETTER THEN THAT!!! 🇷🇺

Just waiting for all the xenophobes to say 'but China...'. Sometimes even with a racist profile pic. Because you know...peer reviewed science is a shame! They know the truth! Uncle Bob said so.

Lmao not only have we gone to extreme lengths to make enemies with the USA, now we're starting with Russia. This will work out well.

Are these the same people spreading Russia Russia election interference that end up being fake🤓

But somehow Chinese propaganda is totally ignored 🤔

Canadian scientists, others around the world racing to find a COVID-19 vaccineWith no vaccine for COVID-19 expected for another year or more, Canadian scientists are among thousands of international researchers racing to find a way to immunize people against the new coronavirus. We already have treatments that are nearly 100% successful, but because those treatments have existed for decades and are cheap, there’s no money to be made. So, we see the push for an unnecessary vaccine. It isn’t about health, it’s about patents and money. Alas, that won't be the only vaccine that humanity will need.
