Alicja Defratyka wrote that Ukrainian attacks on three Russian data centers had recently led to a radical decline in the activity of Russian bots on the internet. She stated that this was confirmed by the ABW and other countries monitoring the network. According to her, thousands of accounts spreading anti-Ukrainian content, supporting the far right and the MAGA movement in the USA, have disappeared, and support for the AfD on social media has sharply declined. Defratyka assessed that the popularity of far-right and populist parties worldwide was artificially created and strengthened by the Kremlin and Russian bots. She wrote that merely blocking accounts does not solve the problem of disinformation at its source, pointing to TV Republika as one of its sources in Poland, adding that the station should be shut down. She expressed hope that Ukrainians would quickly attack the remaining Russian data centers. In her opinion, this could help protect Ukraine and the world from Russian fascism. (translated)

Mandark wrote that some people were still defending themselves against the uncomfortable truth about Yandex. He claimed that the bots did not disappear because they were created, among other things, on X and were still operational there, but they lost contact with their database. According to him, the database had problems with analytics, was not receiving information about posts from influential people, and did not index current events or trends. He added that without a feed, the bots did not have access to that information. #Yandex #analityka #boty (translated)
