The beginning of the active actions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in several directions was marked by significant changes in the Russian information space – the counteroffensive burst into the first line of the rating of the most mentioned terms, and the defence rose from the fifth to the third position. NATO, the Russian army, and terrorism took the second, fourth, and fifth places, respectively. With the end of the “Bakhmut meat grinder,” the Wagner PMC has logically left the top 5 of the rating.
The information space was analysed using a refined methodology based on monitoring 3200 Russian websites, telegram channels, YouTube channels, and significant accounts on VKontakte, Instagram and Facebook.
