The Ukrainian Ministry of Truth [officially the Ministry of Information Policy] debuted a new resource: i-army.org... There you can join the team of bots who will then proceed to troll the internet with their “objective” and “free” opinions.

Most people aren`t so stupid as to fall for the "internet is filled with Russian Shills narrative" to not understand what is behind that.

I wonder how you apply for those jobs and how well they pay. It would be a great way to subsidize retirement.

To shill or not to shill. That is the question. For the right amount of money I would shill for anyone. Why, you may ask. Because if your dumb enough to fall for a shills shilling you deserve to be shilled. If all it takes is a poorly written tweet or message board post with no substance in it, with no proof in it, to change your mind. Then perhaps you may have a weak mind. In that case I prescribe a healthy dose of actual books instead of Youtube videos and blogs.
Anyways everyone on here is a shill bot 5000. There are only three real people on here. And I am pretty sure those three people are all split personalities of one person. And that one person is the dream of a planet sized turtle named Blitztard. And Blitztard is an illusion created by the devil. And the devil is a figment of your imagination.

If they pay well enough I might give it a shake.
I like trolling anyway, fun way to pass my free time.

You really are becoming extremely obvious in your intent, you might want to cool it down a little to try to maintain at least some credibility lol
It's no secret that there are plenty of Russian bots out there signing up to every forum and every news site comment board ready to be alerted to any discussion over this, quickly jumping in with their own pro-Russian propaganda.
Anyone who operates a forum on the Internet, even forums completely unrelated to the subject, are seeing thousands of account creation attempts by the same Russian bots every month. I know this, because I operate more than one forum where this is happening, and they are completely unrelated to the situation in Ukraine.
I can't tell you how many IP's I've blocked from my servers to minimize the flood of Russian propagandists attempting to sign up.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see for themselves that Russia is operating a massive propaganda campaign, with exactly the same tactics across all forums and all comment systems. When a site like the Guardian publishes a story, there are quickly a hundred pro-Russian comments calling everyone "Nazis", denying Crimea was annexed, denying Russian involvement, accusing the UK and US of orchestrating everything...
Of course, when challenged with facts, they disappear or attempt to ignore the reality and distract with yet another ridiculous claim about the "evil West".
If it wasn't so pathetically obvious it could almost be considered impressive.
I fully expect the US, Ukraine and other allies to fight back against this tidal wave of nonsense, but then again they don't really need to considering the rest of the civilized world is well aware of what is happening. Every time the propaganda starts on site there are usually a handful of people pointing out that the "Russians have arrived" to derail and flood the discussion with BS.
People know what's going on, the masses are not as stupid as Russia seems to think. It can flood the Internet with as much BS as it likes and it will not change any minds worth changing.

Problem only is, it`s exactly the same at Dutch news sites which have no Russian Shills.
But kudos for admitting you have fallen for the paranoia campaign set off by Western Intelligence Services.
