Abstract

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and escalated a war between the countries that dates back to 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine. The fierce fighting between the sides has resulted in tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, including more than 6,600 Ukrainian civilians.

Russia has been employing various propaganda tools to gather both domestic and international support for its invasion. These include spreading disinformation about Ukraine, about Russia’s war objectives and how well it has been performing. This briefing will focus on the antisemitic propaganda employed by the Russian State and its supporters during the war.
