Today on “Meet the Vatnik” we have glorious peoples champion @200_zoka.
Zoka wants you to think they are just a poor, sweet, innocent girl from Russia doing their best to expose the “lame stream medias” lies in regards to the ongoings in Syria and Ukraine.

but in reality, he is a 23-year-old male nurse from Bosnia & Herzegovina. He has notably been responsible for the spread of a considerable number of half-truths and myths some examples being the denial of the Assad regime's warcrimes, “de-bunking” their use of chemical weapons
3/
He was central to the “White Helmet” myth which attempted to paint a Syrian aid group, famed for their use of white hardhats, as paid actors.
This story was picked up by a lot of right-wing-ish press and Youtubers, notably Sargon of Akaad who spread it without question.

Since the start of the Ukraine war, in between making fun of hostage victims, Zoka has re-tweeted any pro-kremlin information he could.
5/
He tweets the usual nonsense of anything and everything NATO does is a war crime and/or pointless escalation designed to prolong the conflict, and anything you might have heard about Russia is obviously wrong and a Western lie.
6/
And when he couldn’t find anything, he hopped on the bandwagon of just making shit up.
A claim that NATO had provided Ukraine with HIV-infected blood was spread around by websites such as and https://t.co/pBWfFjjFhv, originated entirely from his Twitter https://t.co/sQtJmOvKkjinfo.news

He, like many other Vatniks, are lying to you. Lying about who they are, and what they know. Like many others, he is doing this simply for attention.
8/
Zoka knows nothing, and is content to simply post whatever he thinks will give him the biggest response, regardless of its authenticity, and if he can't find something, he'll simply make it up.
He is happy to lie to you, cheat you, and basically con you, for fun.

I will never fully understand people when they take Russia's side in this conflict. But if you are truly looking for an alternate news source to find "what the media is not telling you" then Zoka is not it.
