EclecticIQ assesses with high confidence that pro‑Kremlin group Storm‑1516 orchestrated a coordinated disinformation campaign in May 2025—using AI‑generated images and synchronized social accounts, and amplified by Russian state channels—to falsely allege drug use by European leaders visiting Kyiv, aiming to undermine European unity ahead of Istanbul peace talks; the report provides timelines, account attribution, examples of synthetic media, and policy recommendations to counter the influence operation.
