Serhii Leshchenko, an advisor to the Head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, stated, "We’ve exposed a Russian propaganda machine known as Team E. This ‘fake news factory’ was personally overseen by Kiriyenko. It's behind many false narratives targeting Ukraine, both within Russia and in third countries that might shift their political stance due to these lies."

Leshchenko emphasized that this reveals Russia's ongoing efforts to spread misinformation and undermine trust in Ukraine, ultimately aiming to diminish its global support.

  • A major Kremlin "troll factory" has been uncovered, responsible for creating memes, spreading disinformation, and fabricating Western websites.
