Eine Pro-Russia-Desinformationskampagne verwendet kostenlose KI-Tools, um eine „Inhaltsexplosion“ zu befeuern

A pro-Russia disinformation campaign is leveraging consumer artificial intelligence tools to fuel a “content explosion” focused on exacerbating existing tensions around global elections, Ukraine, and immigration, among other controversial issues, according to [new research published last week](https://checkfirst.network/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Overload%C2%A02_%20Main%20Draft%20Report_compressed.pdf).

The campaign, known by many names including [Operation Overload](https://www.recordedfuture.com/research/operation-overload-impersonates-media-influence-2024-us-election) and %5BMatryoshka%5D(https://www.wired.com/story/kremlin-backed-accounts-trying-to-destroy-yulia-navalnaya/) (other researchers have also tied it to [Storm-1679](https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/06/02/russia-cyber-bots-disinformation-2024-paris-olympics/)), has been operating since 2023 and has been aligned with the Russian government by multiple groups, including [Microsoft](https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/06/02/russia-cyber-bots-disinformation-2024-paris-olympics/) and the [Institute for Strategic Dialogue](https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/stolen-voices-russia-aligned-operation-manipulates-audio-and-images-to-impersonate-experts/). The campaign disseminates false narratives by impersonating media outlets with the apparent aim of sowing division in democratic countries. While the campaign targets audiences around the world, [including in the US](https://www.recordedfuture.com/research/operation-overload-impersonates-media-influence-2024-us-election), its main target has been Ukraine. Hundreds of AI-manipulated videos from the campaign have tried to fuel pro-Russian narratives.
