Russia Pressures the UN: How the Kremlin Promotes Propaganda Through Information Attacks

Russia's Pressure on the United Nations

The Russian Federation continues to exert pressure on the United Nations, attempting to promote its own propaganda narratives through information attacks. According to data released in recent reports, the Kremlin actively uses disinformation to shape its image on the international stage.

Rodion Miroshnik, who is a 'special envoy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,' plays a certain role in this campaign. At the same time, fake accounts have left at least 1300 comments under posts by the occupation administration of Berdyansk, indicating systematic attempts to manipulate public opinion. The history of the Kremlin's use of propaganda is not new. The office in St. Petersburg, where 'internet trolls' praised President Vladimir Putin, was mentioned as early as 2013, confirming the long-standing practice of information attacks.

The Impact of Yevgeny Prigozhin's Death

The situation is complicated by the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, in August 2023. His absence may influence the further development of the Kremlin's strategies in the information war. Experts note that

“this statement actually indicates that Russian disinformation is not taken seriously within the UN”

- undermining the authority of the Organization itself and discrediting its mechanisms.

Thus, Russia's pressure on the UN and its attempts to promote propaganda through information attacks continue to raise concerns among the international community. The lack of serious perception of Russian disinformation within the UN indicates a need for effective mechanisms to counter such activity.

This situation emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in combating disinformation, as the Kremlin's activity can have far-reaching consequences for global security and stability. Given past examples of manipulation, it is crucial for the United Nations and other international institutions to take measures to protect against similar information attacks, which could affect public opinion and political decisions in various countries.
