What are the main framings used in pro-Kremlin public discourse in Russia to characterise its invasion of Ukraine? How do different actors and sources adapt their narratives through time? How do they refer to Ukrainian territories that Russia controls or claims?

This project approaches these questions through the structured analysis of on-line sources, including official publications, media, as well as other digital spaces used in this context.
