In its turn, Russia repeats history and begins a new cruel war in Europe invading Ukraine, occupying its territories, and threatening the world with nuclear weapons. "Remembering the feat of granddads" is just a guise for 🇷🇺 imperialist actions, occupation, and war crimes. 3/4

To win a war an army should be motivated. The Ukrainian Army has the strongest motivation possible - saving Ukraine and its people. The way the leadership of a country treats an army is also important. Ukrainian and Russian leaderships show striking differences here. 1/6

The Counter-offensive by the Armed Forces of #Ukraine is a strategic operation thoroughly planned by the Ukrainian command. Its aim is the liberation of Ukrainian territories taken by #Russian invaders. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
Every step of the operation, its operational goals, directions, and dates of beginning and ending are up to the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and depend on the current situation on the ground. #RussiaUkraineWar
There are lots of insinuations about when why, and how it's going or not going to happen. It's very important to remember that #Russian propaganda is active in creating many of such insinuations. #Ukrainecounteroffensive

The statement "Russia is a victim of the West" is a common propaganda tactic used by the #Russian officials to justify its aggressive actions and deflect criticism from its own actions. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
While it is true that Russia has faced significant challenges and hardships over the years, including economic sanctions and political isolation, it is important to recognise that Russia's own actions have contributed to these difficulties.
#Russia has been involved in numerous conflicts and military interventions, including annexing Crimea, support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine, military operations in Syria, the war in Georgia and a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. #RussiaisATerroistState

Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant, located in southeastern Ukraine, is one of Europe's largest nuclear power plants and is critical to Ukraine's energy security. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
However, almost since the #Russian full-scale invasion, the plant has been under illegal occupation by Russian-backed forces. This occupation poses a significant threat to the safety of the plant's workers and the region's security and stability. #RussiaIsATerroristState
The potential for an accident or sabotage at the plant could lead to catastrophic consequences not only for Ukraine and the world. 🇷🇺 propaganda media in advance, write about the attempts of 🇺🇦 troops to seize the ZNPP, forgetting that the plant is located on Ukrainian territory. Image

Prohibilitons to sleep, sit and bathe, beatings and constant moral pressure, tortures, absence of normal food and medical help, threats of rape, sexual violence - these are the realities that Ukrainian women have to face in #Russian captivity. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
There cases of humiliation when women were forcefully shaved or were threatened to cut off or burn their hands because of pro-#Ukrainian tattoos.

After #Russia's annexation of Crimea and its subsequent aggression in #Ukraine, numerous industrial plants, factories, and infrastructure were destroyed. #AgainstRussianLies #UW_InfoWatch
The Azovstal in Mariupol was one of them. The factory was shelled by the #Russian, causing damage to the equipment, buildings, and production lines. Last year, the Russian authorities claimed that they were willing to participate in rebuilding, including the industrial plants.
However, this rhetoric has not translated into action. The reconstruction of the Azovstal factory and other damaged industrial plants is crucial for the region's economic recovery, but it seems that Russia is not willing to contribute to this effort. #RussiaUkraineWar️

The news on Russian television again accused that "the Ukrainian side attacked Donbas". For so many years, we have become accustomed to lies and manipulations in the media space of the aggressor country. But that's a higher level of cynicism... #AgainstRussianLies #UW_InfoWatch Image
However, a recent news broadcast on one of the propaganda channels Russia 1 once again exposed the true nature of this country. The video footage showed another "attack by Ukraine on peaceful civilians".
However, to create this story, propagandists used video footage of the aftermath of a missile strike by Russia on #Uman.

If there is no significant success, "imagine it and threaten the world with nuclear weapons" - this could have been a central idea of today`s Russia politics. 1/4 #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
As long as Russia begins to lose its blackmail influence, it begins to appeal to nuclear weapons. This happened after the increasing of amount of military help for Ukraine and decision to supply it with tanks. 2/4
#RussiaIsATerroristState
This happened when Ukraine began to de-occupy its territories in Kharkiv and Kherson regions. This is happening now when Ukraine and the West don`t agree with ""peaceful plans"" according to Russia`s interest. 3/4 #RussiaIsCollapsing

#Russian wishful thinking presents its stance on the global arena as invulnerable. Russian leaders tend to underestimate the negative effects of sanctions or ignore the fact that Russia is becoming a pariah. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies 1/4
They are trying to show an alternative geostrategic power structure, where the West doesn't play any role, but #Russia is in the center of new pole attracting Asian and African states. Is it really so? 2/4

An “authoritarian axis” is trying to regain strategic momentum in the wake of the Russian invasion into Ukraine. 1/4 #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
During Russian-Chinese negotiations, Putin stated that the Russian Federation advocates using Chinese yuan when trading with countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 2/4
Perhaps this is due to the fact that the list of sanctioned goods for trade with the EU is so large, as well as the political price of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, that Russia has to agree to the currency colonization of another state. 3/4

#UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
The self-proclaimed President of Belarus used such rhetoric, accusing Kyiv of alleged self-defence by facilitating the sabotage of a Russian A-50 AEW&C aircraft that was widely used in the ongoing war to control Ukraine's airspace.
2/5
Mocking Kyiv's earlier attempts to sign a nonaggression pact under the auspices of the UN, Lukashenka anyway stresses that Belarus won't enter the war. Noteworthy, he frequently uses the term “war” instead of Russia's term “special military operation.” It's a crime in Russia.
