NewsFront (website)
Crimean disinformation website / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NewsFront (sometimes written News Front) is a website based in Russian occupied Crimea. It describes itself as "a news agency that runs news in ten languages including Russian, German, English, Bulgarian, Georgian, French, and Spanish."[1] In 2021, the United States Department of the Treasury described it as "a Crimea-based disinformation and propaganda outlet...particularly focused on supporting Russia-backed forces in Ukraine."[2] According to owner Konstantin Knyrik, however, NewsFront is fighting an "information war" against unfair attacks on Russia.[3]
