"Impact for Reward": The Russian Federation finances the anti -Ukrainian campaign in Latin America - the United States

The Kremlin has been funding an anti -Ukrainian misinformation campaign for Latin American for a long time. The US State Department explained what purpose and to whom it is aimed. In Latin America there is a large misinformation campaign against Ukraine, which is well paid by Russia. This was stated by the US State Department.

According to the State Department, the Kremlin aims to launder its propaganda and misinformation through local media in a way that will perceive Latin American society to undermine Ukraine's support. It is also about undermining the US and NATO. The Russian Federation will apply media contacts in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, among other Latin American countries, for the spread of narratives and manipulations.

The State Department gives an example of the Social Project Agency (ASP) and the Institute for Internet Development and Structure, which coordinated the development of information manipulation campaign. All means of misinformation were directed to Latin America. Therefore, the Kremlin's strategic interests in the region reach the end consumer through open and hidden cooperation of companies with local media and influential persons for the spread of misinformation and propaganda.

"These are firms that give" impact on reward ", with powerful technical capabilities, experience of operating open information environments, as well as the history of spreading misinformation and propaganda to achieve Russia's goals in the field of external influence," the statement said.

Moscow, in particular, extends original stories or enhances already existing "split" discussions with the network of state media, proxy servers and opinion leaders on social networks, and then intensifies this content for further penetration into the Western Institution. "The topics of operations are primarily focused on trying to convince Latin American audience that the Russian Federation against Ukraine is fair and that they can unite with Russia to win neo -colonialism," the statement said.

Earlier, Ukraine accused Hungary of spreading the EU lies. In particular, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, was spreading the EU and Russian aggression. Meanwhile, it became known that the employees of Russian diploma in the West, who were sent through a full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, signed the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin with a collective letter asking for help in their difficult situation.
