A campaign named TerOnlyFans, initiated by two women, has raised approximately €800,000 for Ukraine's war effort by offering 'tasteful nudes' in exchange for proof of donations to charities. The initiative, launched on International Women's Day, also aims to promote women's rights to control their own bodies. This has coincided with discussions within Ukraine about potentially decriminalizing adult content to generate revenue.
Meanwhile, Russian propaganda is actively spreading fabricated recruitment materials targeting young men aged 18 to 24. These fake advertisements, presented as official Ministry of Defense promotions, falsely suggest that military contract offers include access to adult content platforms like Pornhub and OnlyFans. The materials are poorly designed and aim to discredit Ukraine's Ministry of Defense and sabotage its mobilization efforts. Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation has identified a network of Russian websites spreading such disinformation.
