(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 06 - Meta has removed over a thousand Russian counterfeit accounts in support of the war in Ukraine.

The company said it disabled 45 Facebook and 1,037 Instagram accounts operated by a Russian troll platform that targeted "politicians, journalists, actors, celebrities and commercial brands from around the world" who support Ukraine.

Several hundred people were reportedly hired and compensated in rubles for leaving pro-Russian comments in order to fabricate the illusion of broad support for the Russian war.

The Kyiv Independent reports it.
