Russian informational co-aggression? Ukraine-related disinformation in Belarusian pro-government Telegram channels
Based on a qualitative content analysis of 2024 posts from leading pro-government Telegram channels in Belarus, this article examines how these sources spread disinformation about Ukraine.
