07 We removed 46 Facebook accounts, 44 Pages, one Group and three Instagram accounts for violating our policy against​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This activity originated in Ukraine and targeted domestic audiences in Ukraine. This network used fake accounts — some of which had already been detected and disabled by our automated systems. They created fictitious personas, commented on other people’s content, posted in Groups and managed Pages, some of which posed as local news entities. This network posted primarily in Ukrainian about news and current events in Ukraine like politics and elections, including supportive commentary about Yulia Timoshenko and Batkyvshyna party and criticism of its political opponents, President Zelensky and former President Poroshenko. This activity primarily centered around recent elections, including presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019 and local elections in 2020. We found this network as part of our investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in the region. Our review benefited from public reporting on some of this activity in Ukraine. Although the people behind it attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation found links to MAS Agency, a PR firm in Ukraine, and individuals associated with Yulia Timoshenko’s campaign and Batkivshchyna, a political party in Ukraine. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 4 ​ 6 Facebook accounts, 44 Pages, 1 Group and 3 accounts on Instagram. ● Followers: A ​ bout 889,000 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, about 20 accounts joined this Group and around 1,500 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts. ● Advertising: A ​ round $2.1 million in spending for ads on Facebook and Instagram paid for in US dollars.
