Russia is increasing spending on programs for foreign “journalists, bloggers and youth” through Rossotrudnichestvo (Roscooperation).
Rossotrudnichestvo is a structure created to operate the Russian agent network worldwide. In the first four months of 2024, it announced tenders for 230 million rubles for “faithful coverage” of the war, more than in the entire year of 2023.
As part of its programs, Rossotrudnichestvo annually pays for thousands of young “representatives of socio-political circles” from abroad to travel to Russia and the temporarily occupied territories. In Russia, foreign “journalists” are trained at the Sputnik news agency and the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
Later, they became centers of propaganda in their countries and conducted information campaigns against Ukraine and the entire civilized world.
The National Resistance Center notes that propagandists are no less responsible for the war in Ukraine than Russian soldiers. You can stop the policy of the Russian occupiers and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
