Pro-Kremlin social media accounts are spreading false claims that Ukrainian military officers' mansions burned down in the LA wildfires, which is part of a disinformation campaign.
Lea Ronzaud, a researcher, noted this fits a broader pattern of Russian assertions that Ukrainian officials are corrupt, attempting to discredit the Ukrainian government.
