Russia has been spreading false claims that Ukraine has been harvesting the organs of fallen soldiers and children as Russia tries to garner support for its invasion, according to a rare warning from Canada's foreign signals intelligence agency.
The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) also said it's aware of dedicated efforts to promote fake anti-Canadian stories.
Following its British and American allies, the CSE tweeted Friday about observations gleaned from its intelligence of what it calls Russian-backed disinformation campaigns, a well-known tactic used by President Vladimir Putin's government.
The agency said there's been a co-ordinated effort by Russia to create and spread false claims that Ukraine was harvesting organs of fallen soldiers, women and children, and using mobile cremators to dispose of the evidence.
