Researchers from dTeam, a US-based group that tracks Moscow-linked influence operations, told BBC Verify there has not been "any traffic change from known Russian accounts and bot clusters on any platform".
They added that if the offices of known groups involved in these operations "were in flames then we would see a change".
Bots linked to pro-Kremlin influence operations like Storm-1516 and Matryoshka - both of which BBC Verify has previously reported on - were still active on social media on Tuesday, evidence shared with BBC Verify by dTeam shows.

@mono I don't look every single time this gets reported. But every single time I have, there was not any information that you could independently use to verify a botnet let alone that it was a Russian botnet. They always just say "trust us, the governnment pays us to find Russian botnets so we found a russian botnet"
