How is Russia Covering the Crisis in Ukraine?
20 February 2022
For months, Russian propagandists have been preparing for a potential war by framing Ukraine and the West as aggressors. We compiled data from our weekly Hamilton 2.0 reports to shine a light on how Russian officials and state media have messaged around the crisis since November 2021, when Moscow’s troop buildup instigated widespread concern of a potential renewed invasion into Ukraine. Russia’s messaging is broken into narrative categories and organized chronologically. The five categories are: Ukraine and the West are planning a false flag operation; Ukraine is an extremist, puppet state; the West is to blame; Russia is innocent; and sanctions would be unwarranted.
