“The ecosystem is based on five pillars,” the report says. “These are official government messages, the state financial materials distributed around the world, the cultivation of friendly sources of information, the use of social networks as weapons and the spread of misinformation using cyberses.”

The text mentions seven sites to the services of which the Kremlin resorts to. The largest and most popular of them Global Research, based in Canada. The main goal is the replication of conspiracy versions related to the pandemia of coronavirus and false information on many issues, ”said the State Department of Lea Gabriel.
