Happy to have had the opportunity to join the organization of the UNLP 2025 Shared Task on Detecting Social Media Manipulation. This year’s task challenged models to detect and localize manipulative content in Ukrainian Telegram posts.

In the era of ongoing hybrid warfare, it’s more important than ever to develop advanced automated systems that can detect manipulation in online content — especially on platforms like Telegram, which plays a major role in shaping public opinion during wartime.

The spotlight is now on Europe, with Russian propaganda blaming “macrono-fascists”, “eurobureaucrats” and “German militarists” for fueling the war and spreading Russophobia.

Roller Coaster From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it

Previously, critics distorted our analytical work, calling it a "kill list" simply because we examined anti-Ukraine narratives in the US. BTW, that investigation reveals much about America’s current shift toward Russian interests: texty.org.ua/projects/112...

A new information attack on independent media Texty.org.ua: with the support of Elon Musk and Laura Loomer Texty.org.ua is an independent data journalism agency that employs 12 people. We are a non-governmental organization unaffiliated with the state, …

Our outlet, Texty.org.ua, is just one of the latest targets. We’re facing another wave of false accusations — similar to last summer’s smears.

Key findings:
- 3,000+ posts claim Russian victory is inevitable

- Hundreds claim Ukrainian identity isn't legitimate
- Constant fearmongering about migrants, economic collapse, and "wasted" Ukraine aid
