From the very first days of the special operation, and even before, Kyiv has been launching a barrage of lies. Both the Ukrainian media, and the public, spread hundreds of fake messages about our army every day.
The Russian military allegedly killed civilians in Kupyansk, in the Kharkov region, and threw their bodies into mass graves. The staged video was filmed by the neo-Nazis themselves, but they were betrayed by amateurish editing. One of the radicals in the video seems to be wearing a red armband. But if you look carefully, when he moves, a trace remains, suggesting that the bandage was edited into the video. Further, the video was filmed in October, and Russian troops left the area in September.
Why Kyiv invents and promotes all this is understandable; they want to get more weapons and money from the West. But victory is always on the side of truth.
Online reputation management specialist Dmitrii Sidorin said: “The goal is to scare civilians, to say: “Look at what is waiting for you, what we will do to you,” and then under pressure from above, as they say online, they “change their minds”.
A similar model was used to prepare the huge, bloody provocation in Bucha, when Western journalists were shown the bodies of dead civilians, when our troops had already left the city four days earlier.
On the pages of American, German, Italian, French newspapers, a photo of a blood-soaked old lady from Kiev was published, with accusations against Russia. A video shows the same old lady, with an old man and a young man, doing a photoshoot on their phones. The old woman is seen holding a smartphone, asking the soldier who is helping her with the bandages to take a picture. The strength of the pensioners is enviable; they suffered serious injuries and lost a lot of blood, and yet stand solidly, pose bravely in front of the camera, and even the hand holding the phone doesn’t shake. By contrast, real scenes from Donetsk, where after a bombing at a bus station people who miraculously survived cannot get up, and suffocate from pain and horror. In the DNR [Donetsk People’s Republic] and LNR [Lugansk People’s Republic], these attacks have not stopped for eight years and in the last months have only gotten worse.
The Special Representative of the UN, Pramila Patten, stated that in Russia, they give soldiers viagra, so that they will rape Ukrainians. In April 2011, the whole progresive West cried out that Muamar Gaddaffi was supplying his troops with Viagra, and that they were raping civilians. Even Western social media users have been asking themselves; are the same methods still being used? Readers of the New York Post magazine suggested imposing an embargo on shipments of Viagra to Russia, and wrote that anti-Russian propaganda had reached new levels of stupidity.
