A Russian influence campaign, DoppelGänger, leverages fake news websites (typosquatted and independent) to spread disinformation, undermining support for Ukraine. Structura and SDA are running the campaign, which started in May 2022 and targets France, Germany, and other countries.  Inauthentic social media accounts, particularly on video platforms, amplify the articles, and interestingly, the campaign’s activity appears to correlate with real-world events like protests, aid decisions, and national budget votes, suggesting attempts to exploit these situations.  The DoppelGänger campaign utilizes a three-stage redirection process.
