In a groundbreaking development, Ukrainian media manager and former Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Volodymyr Borodiansky has launched “War of Words” – an innovative AI-driven tool designed to swiftly analyze vast amounts of Russian propaganda content. This powerful English-language platform allows users to sift through over 100,000 hours of material from various sources, including TV, Telegram, and RuTube, with just a few clicks.
Key features of War of Words include:

Structured cloud-based data storage with a propaganda archive spanning 12 years, updated daily
Advanced search capabilities using keywords in English and the original language
Comprehensive filtering options by date, media type, sources, programs, speakers, and more
Dynamic dashboards for tracking propaganda trends over time

The tool’s future plans involve generating daily thematic reports and monitoring “hate indices” towards specific countries or individuals.
By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, War of Words empowers Ukrainian and international government officials, diplomats, media outlets, and researchers to expose Russia’s ongoing threats to global peace through disinformation campaigns. Microsoft Ukraine has lent its support to the project, providing access to Azure cloud services.
As we delve into the world of Russian propaganda, here’s a thought-provoking question for our readers:
Can you recall a specific period when Russian media heavily used the words “Canada” and “Nazi” in combination?
Here’s a clue: It coincided with a prominent Ukrainian official’s visit and involved a controversial figure named Yaroslav Hunka.

    This is a great tool, but unfortunately it’s not hard to find Russian propaganda. It seems to find us easily enough. What would be very useful is a tool or techniques to neutralize and/or block it once spotted. Hopefully that will come soon!
