Automation of information influence via Telegram

Problem

After Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, the information component of the war became key. The Internet and messengers used by the general population have become tools of manipulation, spreading disinformation and influencing public opinion.

In 2023, digital activity in Ukraine is impressive:

• 79.2% of the population uses the Internet;
• 74% actively use social media;
• 154.9% of registered mobile connections.

Among messengers, Telegram holds a leading position in Ukraine and post-Soviet countries. Its popularity allows it to influence millions of users by creating the illusion of trust through managed communities.
