'Disinformation' - Kyiv denies report that Iran destroyed Ukrainian drone depot in Dubai Ukraine's Foreign Ministry on March 28 denied a report that Iranian forces destroyed a facility containing Ukrainian weapons and military personnel in Dubai. The report comes as Ukraine forges closer ties with partners in the Middle East, leveraging its expertise in intercepting Iranian drones as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran drags into its second month. The Fars News Agency, an Iranian outlet with close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported earlier on March 28 that Iran struck a Ukrainian drone depot in Dubai with a missile. The facility contained Ukrainian "anti-drone systems" and 21 Ukrainians, who were "likely killed," according to the outlet. "This is a lie, we officially deny this information," Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi told reporters. "The Iranian regime often conducts such disinformation operations — and this is no different from the Russians." President Volodymyr Zelensky is currently visiting countries in the Middle East, signing 10-year defense partnerships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE that may exchange Ukraine's anti-drone expertise for weapons production and energy support. Ukraine, which has years of experience fending off Iranian-made Shahed drones, has in recent weeks provided air defense support to Gulf nations facing missile and drone attacks...

@nytimes.com wants us to think they’re on the right side of history but they haven’t been since Judith Miller sold us a bridge to Iraq. And all because they allow themselves to be misled because they already possess a bias, at best, an agenda, at worst.

'Kill Orbán': Kremlin Bot Pushes Violent Disinformation Campaign Before Hungary Vote A Kremlin-backed bot network has launched a coordinated disinformation campaign ahead of Hungary’s parliamentary elections, spreading false claims, including that Hungarians were being urged to “take up arms and kill Viktor Orbán.” The bot known as Matryoshka has focused its campaign on stoking tensions between Kyiv and Budapest ahead of the April 12 vote, Antibot4Navalny, a group that tracks Russian influence operations, told Politico. JOIN US ON TELEGRAM Follow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. One of the most widely circulated pieces of disinformation was a video falsely presented as a report from German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. The clip claimed that a group of Ukrainian refugees had been killed while attempting to detonate a homemade explosive device near Prime Minister Orbán’s office. Advertisement The footage, heavily boosted by bot activity, drew around 100,000 views. Another video, falsely attributed to a Moldovan media outlet, claimed that Hungarians were receiving messages from Ukrainians urging them “to take up arms, resist the authorities and kill Viktor Orbán.” That clip surfaced just days before The Washington Post reported that Russian intelligence had considered staging an assassination attempt on Orbán to boost his re-election chances, raising questions about the timing of the campaign...

This Week In Disinformation 22 - 28 March 2026 X is a problem. Now, it could be me and where my assessments consistently lead me. But week after week, the evidence keeps pointing the same direction.

Geo-mismatch is where a #disinformation actor operating in one country targets another. It's a model for disinformation farms, and platforms already hold the location #data to identify it.

Earlier this week, X announced that they were assessing that, only to quickly reverse it.

Mathis is the closest you'll find to this "story", and it's light years away.
