On 1 April, Ireland's Taoiseach defended Aughinish Alumina's Russia trade by citing "welcoming Ukrainian refugees." 27 days later, his Cabinet evicted 16,000 of them. Meanwhile, Aughinish Alumina—Europe's largest alumina refinery, located in Ireland—ships 68% of its exports to Russia.

❗️😢 Russia is involving Ukrainian teenagers in the temporarily occupied territories in propaganda through the media program “Yunkor,” — OCCRP investigation. “Yunkor”: teenagers undergo online training, make stories, record interviews and participate in media forums.

According to a new OCCRP investigation, Russia has created a whole system to turn teenagers from Russian-occupied territories into young propagandists. The main tool is the “Yunkor” project under the paramilitary “Yunarmia” movement.

OCCRP reports that the leaked files describe other operations too. Green paint on Jewish sites. Vandalism meant to implicate environmentalists. Plans to frame Ukrainians. Efforts aimed at Armenian politics. Western opinion leaders treated as useful channels. This is not at all random noise.

Newly leaked Russian documents describe “cognitive strikes” against Western audiences. The goal of these influence operations is to “deepen internal contradictions between ruling elites” and stir up protests — in part by abandoning overtly pro-Russian messaging: buff.ly/yZPrHbl

The OCCRP reporting also points toward the next layer in this system. Projects for 2026 reportedly include AI-driven databases, opinion leader tracking, multilingual influence sites, and video production across social networks. So the old troll farm model is not gone. It is being industrialized.

Welcome to my TED Talk, another episode in the long-running series called “unfortunately, we told you so.” New reporting from OCCRP has dropped. Did you read it? Because it gives a rare look behind the curtain at what Russia itself reportedly calls “cognitive strikes” against the West.

⚡️UK sanctions Russian individuals, entities responsible for exploiting migrants in its war effort. "The practice of exploiting vulnerable people to prop up Russia’s failing and illegal war in Ukraine is barbaric," U.K. Sanctions Minister Stephen Doughty said.
