According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Telegram by the press service of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) at the National Security and Defense Council, citing analytics from the American company NewsGuard.
“Russia has intensified its information attacks against the US, using artificial intelligence and a large-scale disinformation ecosystem,” the statement said.
It is noted that, according to the American company NewsGuard, which analyzes information sources for reliability, it is the Kremlin that is behind most attempts to influence American society through disinformation, deepfakes, fake websites, and social networks.
"Russia has built an entire network of disinformation platforms known as Pravda... Currently, this network includes more than 150 websites in 49 countries, which in just one year have disseminated more than 3.6 million pieces of content promoting Kremlin narratives. These resources systematically attack American media, calling them “fake” or “propaganda,” the Center noted.
The Center also explained that such resources deliberately “pollute” Internet search engines and artificial intelligence models with disinformation. As a result, AI algorithms begin to reproduce Kremlin messages, misleading users.
