Russia tried to discredit Milei in Argentina, but ended up damaging its media instead

In early April, openDemocracy revealed how a network linked to the Kremlin placed hundreds of articles in Argentina’s media to discredit far-right president Javier Milei’s government due to its alignment with the United States and support for Ukraine.

Later that same day, Argentina’s State Intelligence Secretariat, which had not answered our questions throughout our investigation, issued a statement claiming it had already reported the network behind the disinformation attacks to the country’s courts and the public prosecutor’s office in October 2025.

There is no trace of any such report ever having been made.
