"We call on everyone who supports the actions of our president and the Russian army to join in creating and distributing truthful content!"
This call to arms by a Russian website appears to be successfully recruiting ordinary Russians - 28,000 of them according to research by Sky News - to take part in the information war.
It is just one example of how some of the Russian public are playing their part in the battle to control the narrative around the Ukrainian conflict. Other examples include the recruitment of a hacker "cyber army" and the establishment of a seemingly grassroots organisation to track Ukrainian war crimes.
