"He who smelt it dealt it" intelligence reporting. By that standard, the US government "is involved" in Russia's invasion of Ukraine (2014 and 2022, both).

"though the scope and impact remain to be determined."

Skimmed paper. TLDR

- RT covered the protests

- So did some obscure Crimean websites

- Also, a few Telegram channels with maybe 30,000 members total

- Lots of blather about "populism", "far right", unrelated political movements on the other side of the globe

> It is unlikely that this coverage had a meaningful direct impact on the convoy movement
