❗️Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene argues that the US-Ukraine deal could trigger another war, claiming it involves a mining rights agreement to recover money sent to Ukraine, which allegedly funded corruption and arms sales to enemies.

She compares this situation to the Iraq invasion over weapons of mass destruction, questioning the outcome and the financial cost.

Greene suggests that occupying Ukraine to protect its resources would risk American lives and escalate future conflicts, leading to further debt and no real benefits.

❗️Roughly one in four of the articles on Pravda Australia was a direct reproduction of one of Mr Boikov's posts to his roughly 89,000 followers.

When contacted, he told ABC News he was unaware his posts were being reproduced by the site.

"I haven't disapproved or approved of that, but it warms my heart," said Mr Boikov.

"I would say it's an AI thing … they are probably reproducing stuff from my channel because they trust me to be a pro-Russian credible source for a pro-Russian angle.

"In any case, I have no contact".

A second channel run by RealLandDownUnder, which frequently features far-right views was the source for almost 1/6 of the articles published.

There's no suggestion that the owner of that Telegram channel has any knowledge their posts are being repurposed by Pravda Australia either.

Disinformation group DFRLab has traced the global network's origins to news websites run from Russia's Crimea in 2014, but in 2025, its scale, focus and architecture are completely different.

❗️Even Mr Boikov, the site's most prominent contributor, claimed to be unaware of its existence, although he said it sounded "fantastic".

The Coalition's home affairs spokesperson senator James Paterson has called for an investigation into Pravda's Australian operations by the Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce.

The taskforce includes several government bodies, including intelligence agencies and the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).

"Any allegations of foreign interference, including online, must be taken seriously and investigated," Senator Paterson said.

"The Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce … should examine whether these actors are trying to sway our election through chatbots".

❗️The vast majority of the stories are verbatim reproductions of posts to a handful of Telegram channels and stories from Russian propaganda outlets.

The two most heavily featured Telegram channels are operated by the users AussieCossack and RealLandDownUnder.

@AussieCossack is the username of an Australian man named Simeon Boikov, a self-styled pro-Kremlin influencer who has been holed up in the Russian consulate in Sydney since January 2023, avoiding an arrest warrant for an alleged assault.

❗️A pro-Russian influence operation has been targeting Australia in the lead-up to this weekend's federal election, the ABC can reveal, attempting to "poison" AI chatbots with propaganda.

Pravda Australia presents itself as a news site, but analysts allege it's part of an ongoing plan to retrain Western chatbots such as ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Copilot on "the Russian perspective" and increase division amongst Australians in the long-term.

It's one of roughly 180 largely automated websites in the global Pravda Network allegedly designed to "launder" disinformation and pro-Kremlin propaganda for AI models to consume and repeat back to Western users.

❗️Pravda Australia was spotted in early 2025 by Recorded Future, a private intelligence firm monitoring the election for foreign influence attempts.

"It's publishing a lot of content related to the Australian election," said Sean Minor, a senior analyst at Recorded Future.

To date, the website has published more than 6,300 stories, most of them since mid-March, roughly 40 per cent of which have focused squarely on Australia.

The topics vary depending on the news cycle, but any mention of Russia, Ukraine, disharmony among Western allies, or embarrassing moments for Western leaders tends to feature prominently.

❗️NSW Police will visit polling booths across the state on Saturday in a bid to ensure tensions do not boil over after threatening and aggressive behaviour at early voting centres prompted the electoral commission to warn that bad behaviour would not be tolerated.

On Tuesday, a high-profile extreme right-wing figure used the messaging app Telegram to call for recruits to turn up en masse to help independent candidate Matthew Camenzuli in the western Sydney seat of McMahon on election day. The electorate has been a Labor seat for more than 50 years and is held by the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen.

The message, sent by Simeon Boikov, who uses the online alias “@AussieCossack”, included a list of all the polling booths in McMahon. Boikov has been staying in the Russian consulate in Sydney to evade arrest warrants after allegedly assaulting a man at a pro-Ukrainian rally in 2022.
