В распоряжении ВЧК-ОГПУ оказалось голосовое сообщение, которое депутат ГД РФ генерал-лейтенант Андрей Гурулев отправил коллегам из комитета Госдумы по обороне. В нем он уверяет, что после Украины Россия может напасть на Казахстан и уже есть соответствующая «отмашка».
В распоряжении ВЧК-ОГПУ оказалось голосовое сообщение, которое депутат ГД РФ генерал-лейтенант Андрей Гурулев отправил коллегам из комитета Госдумы по обороне. В нем он уверяет, что после Украины Россия может напасть на Казахстан и уже есть соответствующая «отмашка».
Multiple pro-Kremlin media figures circulated the post's false claims, including prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Soloviev and the state-controlled Russian outlet RT, according to the DFR Lab's report. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback.
