The British Foreign Office said on Sunday Russia is using a troll factory to spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine on social media and target politicians across a number of countries including Britain and South Africa.

UK-funded expert research said the research exposed how the Kremlin's disinformation campaign was designed to manipulate international public opinion of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, boost support for it and recruit new sympathisers.The British Foreign Office said on Sunday Russia is using a troll factory to spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine on social media and target politicians across a number of countries including Britain and SA.

Britain cited UK-funded expert research, which it did not publish. It said the research exposed how the Kremlin's disinformation campaign was designed to manipulate international public opinion of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, boost support for it and recruit new sympathisers. Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a “special operation” to disarm Ukraine and protect it from fascists. Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless and the war is an unprovoked act of aggression.

Russia says the Western media have provided an excessively partial narrative of the war that largely ignores Moscow's concerns about the enlargement of Nato and what it says is the persecution of Russian speakers in Ukraine, something denied by Kyiv.

If Armenians speak to Ukrainians like this. Why must Africans say? 😁except that you really really undermine our intelligence.

Russia doesnt need any disinformation in South Africa.🤣 Ukraine's Neo-Nazi racism speak for itself very loudly in the social media. And the US sponsored genocide in Yemen, Palestine needs no introduction. Iraq, Libya, Syria are still fresh in our memory.

The Zuma camp utilising it already, their tweets speak for themselves.

Your article headline is “South Africa”, but article content is about UK and other countries. This article is rubbish and intending to cause conflict between Russia and South Africa.
