Context

A wide range of narratives about the Euroclear depository and frozen Russian assets was circulating across the Ukrainian, Russian, and Belgian information spaces — from questions about the fate of the assets to reputational attacks on the politicians associated with the topic.

Challenge

The task was to find the network behind the coordinated attacks on Euroclear, and to separate organic narratives from those driven by a managed campaign.

Result

Analysis of thousands of messages revealed how Belgium and Euroclear are viewed by Ukrainian and Russian audiences, and helped map the structure of the narratives around the frozen-assets debate.
