It's an information war like Hilary Clinton said.
The link goes to a site created less than two months ago kyivinsider. The source is from Alliance4europe.This is part of the DISARM Foundation, also know for AMITT (Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques) framework.
That one belongs to the Credibility Coalition, and that one to Meedan. A San Francisco based organization funded by the US National Science Foundation and many organizations like Meta, Amazon, etc.
The Russians are amateurs at propaganda in comparison to the US.
Propagandan is one of Kremlin's biggest tools, and it has been since the wall went up and it certainly never stopped when it came down.
Over time it has become the cheapest way for them for sow discord and infighting between their adversaries. Moving it online made it even cheaper and they've been at it hard the past decade or two.
Obviously the US have their own operations, but your point is not correct in any way. Look at what they've accomplished. The world is in chaos and they're largely responsible for a lot or even most of it, depending on how you look at the big picture.
I didn't express that last part correctly. I meant that it was probably a single guy making those bots. A lot more effective that multiple funders, agencies, organizations and private companies working on "democracy" and "transparency".
As for the fault. The trouble started with a coup in 2014. Then internal conflict and then Russia entered differently with war. At every step of the conflict you have the US behind. The coup to put a US puppet, arming them, blowing up Russian infrastructure, and using other countries to block Russian gas in favor of more expensive American gas. Russia has made clear they don't tolerate NATO in Ukraine. It is as logical as Russia putting military bases in Canada or Mexico.
I love how this post makes a bunch of claims, and yet provides zero sources, and thus, has absolutely zero value.
It's digital noise, spam at best, evil misinformation at worst.
It took time to look that up. The link doesn't even have an about page. And an IP search shows it is a new site. From there the actual source site (German) you follow back the about pages back to the original sources. There is no need to for a bunch of links. Anyone can verify.
