    Researchers from the University of Adelaide have found bots have had a major online presence during the war between Russia and Ukraine.

    The researchers analysed 5,203,764 tweets, retweets, quote tweets and replies posted to Twitter between 23 February 2022, and 8 March 2022, containing the hashtags
    #(I)StandWithPutin, #(I)StandWithRussia, #(I)SupportRussia, #(I)StandWithUkraine, #(I)StandWithZelenskyy and #(I)SupportUkraine.

    “We found that between 60 and 80 per cent of tweets using the hashtags we studied came from bot accounts during the first two weeks of the war,” said co-lead researcher Joshua Watt, an MPhil candidate in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Adelaide’s School of Mathematical Sciences.

    “This drove more angst in the online discourse and even impacted discussions surrounding people’s decision to flee or stay in Ukraine.

    “We observed increases in words such as ‘shame’, ‘terrorist’, ‘threat’, and ‘panic’.
