Human rights defenders of the non-governmental organization "Crimean Tatar Resource Center" researched and presented trends of Russian disinformation about NATO's goals, values, and work in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

There are the following trends:

In April-May 2022, propagandists actively justified the invasion by saying that Ukraine will try to return Crimea by military means if it joins NATO.

In June, the message changed: it is alleged that NATO is unleashing the third world war and "beats Ukraine" to attack Crimea.

In July, propagandists began to say that Russia is already "at war with NATO" not with Ukraine.
