Title Bucha: Russia will ramp up disinformation to raise doubts and defend alleged Ukraine war crimes Media name/outlet i News Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 4/04/22 Description Stephen Hutchings, a professor of Russian Studies at the University of Manchester, said the effectiveness of a misinformation campaign would depend on the Kremlin’s audience.
“It is already working quite nicely for much of Russia’s domestic audience. Putin’s ratings are climbing, even allowing for problems with polling in Russia.
“Putin’s narrative has also gained traction among far-right alt media conspiracists in the US, not to mention in parts of the developing world, and in China, where Weibo is awash with Russian misinformation narratives. The West is a different story of course.”URL https://inews.co.uk/news/world/bucha-russia-disinformation-war-crimes-ukraine-1555754 Persons Stephen Hutchings
