More tips for analysing the information in sources and channels from #RussiaUkraineWar e.g. This channel 'Insider Ukraine' t.me/insiderUKR/287… is linked to Azov and the Verkhovna Rada. It clearly gets information from military units quickly. They were the first to break the

story about the NYT journalist killed crossing into Irpin. Their language is often emotive and colloquial and frequently includes specifically racial slurs (often Russians are called 'orcs'.) Govt Rada channels do not do this (with the exception of Vitali Klitchko's channel). It is strongly indicative of ideological and racial psycho-emotional and cognitive bias. This lack of social and emotional filters indicates more than just passions running high during wartime. It indicates a strong inclination to objectify the outgroup. Similar racial emoting is evident in the former Ukrainian President's 2014 address about Donbass. In the above post they also build a narrative about a narrative allegedly being planned by #Russia regarding false mass graves. This is disturbing because fresh mass graves were recently uncovered in Bucha in which the landfill-sand was very recently and uniformly applied. Did the #Azov information warfare units get this idea from their own command? This is speculation. However: that they speculate about the alleged #Russian plot in detail themselves is also very unusual.

The idea of moving loads of human civilian bodies from location to location is not only obscene and macabre - it is unusual and such actions would make forensic analysis of the cause and place of death very difficult. Those executing such plans would hide real crimes and simultaneously develop strategic weaponised information.

So when analysing messages in channels from sources, look for the semantic encoding of racially and ethnically charged sentiment and emotion. It can indicate operational and situational context. Also look for unusually convoluted narratives that anticipate too much given the available limited information fidelity. Additionally, if some narrative or message matches a different source than the one claimed, then the alternative source may well be the real one. The tip here is: the more complex the message and the more 'moving parts' it has, the less likely it will accidentally match any earlier source or message structure.
