Russia’s curve. Is the enemy moving toward defeat

Texty.org.ua has built an ENTIRELY SUBJECTIVE model for assessing the situation in Russia. We took indicators from different areas of life — from the state of the economy to events at the front and the mood inside the country — and assigned each one a weight. The budget deficit, for example, weighs more than public discontent. We combined the indicators we chose into a single curve, to see where Russia is heading overall: whether it still has a margin of safety, or is moving toward exhaustion and therefore toward being unable to continue the war, or even toward disintegration.Читати українською

Jak se ruské dezinformace šíří v českém informačním prostoru

Jak se ruské dezinformace šíří v českém informačním prostoru
Každá země, která soustavně podporuje Ukrajinu, se stává terčem ruských informačních operací. Česká republika není výjimkou. Rusko prostřednictvím pochybných informačních webů a komentářů na sociálních sítích ovlivňuje veřejné mínění, oslabuje podporu Ukrajiny, prohlubuje vnitřní společenské rozpory a posiluje euroskeptické postoje. Kreml se nechová jako sprinter, ale jako maratonec. Nespoléhá na okamžitý efekt, ale sází na četná opakování klíčových sdělení, jejich šíření a pomalé podrývání důvěry v mainstreamová média a uvážlivé politiky.

How Russian disinformation penetrates and takes root in the Czech information space

How Russian disinformation penetrates and takes root in the Czech information space
Every country that consistently supports Ukraine is a target for Russian information operations. The Czech Republic is no exception. Russia uses low-tier news sites and mass comments on social media to shift public opinion and minimize support for Ukraine, as well as to deepen internal social divisions and Euroscepticism. The Kremlin operates not as a sprinter, but as a marathon runner. It does not expect an immediate effect — its strategy relies on repeatedly spreading the desired narratives and slowly eroding trust in mainstream media and level-headed politicians.

Elections overshadowed by Kyiv: Ukraine as the centerpiece of Orbán's campaign
Parliamentary elections will take place in Hungary on April 12. The election campaign has been extremely heated. Viktor Orbán, who risks losing the election, has staked his campaign on anti-Ukrainian sentiment. Consequently, his campaign and the media under his control are constantly leveling accusations against Ukraine. We analyzed the content of the main pro-government media outlets and identified the key themes they have been promoting regarding Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Читати українською

Hungarian propaganda against Ukraine: what the Orban regime is spreading

Hungarian propaganda against Ukraine: what the Orban regime is spreading
Kyiv is funding Hungarian opposition journalists to criticize Orban. Ukrainian Intelligence has taken control of the opposition party Tisza and is now, together with Brussels, trying to replace the Hungarian government with a puppet government that will obediently work in the interests of Brussels and Zelensky. Hungarian pro-government media published these and many other absurd reports during the consultative referendum on Ukraine's EU membership.Читати українською

What does AI think about Ukraine? Exploring the biases of large language models
Together with OpenBabylon, Texty.org.ua formulated 2803 questions about Ukraine in English, asked them to 27 language models, and evaluated their answers. This way, we found out which of them are the most biased. We analyzed models from different countries, from the US to China, which are publicly available, i.e., those that can be downloaded to your computer for free and studied.
