I have been documenting this bizarre tactic where Russian trolls comment in British papers, then a main Russian outlet writes a story about these comments as if genuine. For the past wk it was 1 a day but since yesterday it is increasing & now involves Bulgaria and France as well
The comments are so troll like and range from Sleepy Joe to Trump keeping the world safe.
Multiple threads from when it began which was about 2 weeks ago

I feel like I have to constantly post this reminder and it's frustrating. There are no two sides to Russia's escalation and threats towards Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine 7 years ago and has been occupying parts of Ukraine and waging daily war resulting in over 14,000 deaths
There is no conflict, no civil war. Just Russia's increasing aggression and threats of further invasion which threatens Ukraine and the West. Also Russia has been using Ukraine as testing grounds for all the hellish tactics they have unleashed on the West including America.
Ukraine has zero desire to invade or attack Russia and poses absolutely no threat. They recently have been moving military on their sovereign territory to defend themselves in case of an attack. Not sure why this bothsidesism keeps appearing by people discussing what is happening

TY @wolfblitzer for covering Ukraine but it's not that tensions are high between Russia and Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine 7 years ago, wages daily war resulting in over 14,000 Ukrainians, and decided they want to escalate by threatening further invasion while building up forces
Ukraine has been minding their own business and have zero intentions of invading or attacking Russia. If anything they want to move towards European values and join NATO which Russia is threatening against
Over 14,000 Ukrainian deaths*

Omg! a mobster who allegedly documents with him in the name of Gennady Petrov was shot dead in a Moscow fitness club and it was caught on video. Feels so much like the 90's
Not clear if he had Petrov's docs or the membership he opened was under Petrov's name. Petrov is of course the mafia figure operating out of Spain who is close to the kremlin
Very interesting that the outlet that has the most details including enemies, city to look in, etc is one linked to fsb
