The current state of combating Russian and Chinese propaganda is referred to in a document published by META experts. The report stated that during November 2023, experts found three accounts of accounts that worked in the Russian Federation and China. Two of them acted in favor of the PRC, one in favor of Russia. At the same time, they did not have direct accusations against the United States, Ukraine, and Western countries policies in these networks.

Therefore, they were called "operations of hidden influence". Real information was distorted and published by counterfeit messages that mimic the real ones. The social network X, Telegram and Tiktok were used for distribution. As an illustration of the actions of fake accounts in the report, screenshots of several posts are presented.
