Pro-Moscow sources 'are deliberately amplifying old footage to support the Kremlin narrative,' the Institute for the Study of War said on Saturday.
Russian military bloggers, an influential faction in Russia's military and political spheres, are"deliberately amplifying old footage to support the Kremlin narrative" in Ukraine, according to a new assessment.
Russian military bloggers, or milbloggers, often claim to be on the front lines or have contacts feeding them intelligence from the fighting, and post frequent updates on Russian and Ukrainian operations for their followers. Many tout pro-Kremlin views, but some have criticized how Russian forces are conducting the invasion of Ukraine.
But the footage was captured on June 7, and shows"Russian artillery units striking the Ukrainian column," the ISW said. Widely sharing this footage under the guise of new clips from the front indicates that pro-Moscow sources"are deliberately amplifying old footage to support the Kremlin narrative," the think tank added.
The instute said some bloggers are"increasingly overstating Ukrainian losses and writing less about Russia's losses and challenges."
