Moscow office of German public TV ARD just repeats the Kremlin's lie on Ukrainian usage of combat drones, white-washing RUS aggression, accusing UKR troops (who defended themselves) in escalation. This happens when you report about Ukraine from Moscow!
This is not the first time Moscow ARD office serves as a tribune for Lavrov's lies. They do it regularly (at least on twitter). I'd like to hear from my former colleague and a real Russia expert @InaRuck , why is this happening all the time in your office?
Even in most silly Moscow propaganda tricks is the Twitter-Account of @ARDMoskau pretty supportive: as Russian Roskosmos space agency sent a movie team to space, clearly in order to distract public attention from own multiply flops, ARD Moscow just posted a PR story about it:
Acting almost like loyal subjects of Russian Empire, @ARDMoskau had congratulated Putin's unscrupulous FM Lavrov to the latter's birthday. The same Lavrov, who spreads hate and lies since years, poisoning Western democracies and securing a safe fundament for Russia's aggressions.

#BREAKING Ukrainian oligarch, a leader of pro-Russian "For Life" party, and a relative of Vladimir Putin Victor Medvedchuk is accused of treason, Ukrainian State Attorney Venediktova stated in her Facebook (a very Ukrainian way of political communication, one needs to say) Image
One needs to say, publishing such bombshells on Friday evening is also very typical.

While (too) many people celebrate the Nobel Prize for Russian Novaya Gazeta, one may not forget that this newspaper serves as a "legal opposition" fig leaf for Putin (and cooperates). No surprise, editor-in-chief Muratov says, he would donate Prize money a Putin-founded charity: Image
For example, "Novaya Gazeta" was the main media which had spread a fake story about "psychological terror in internet, which leads Russian kids to commit suicides" - a clear FSB fake invented to justify draconic control of FSB over social media. Image
"Novaya Gazeta" was also the medium used to white-wash Russian FIFA 2018 World Cup - as voices were loud to take FIFA2018 from Russia amid Russian war in Ukraine, "Novaya" and its star reporter Kanygin invested a lot to create an image that MH17 victims' relatives support Russia Image

#BREAKING Russian state-owned Gazprom had completely stopped gas transit to Hungary through Ukraine today, Oct. 1st at 7am Kyiv time (5am GMT), Ukrainian Transit Operator OGS says. Gazprom has a transit contract with OGS for 01.10.2021-30.09.2022 with a volume of 24,6m ccm/day.
Russia started to use its "TurkStream" pipeline to sell gas to Hungary ignoring existing transit contracts with Ukraine. Hungarian PM Orban said today on national TV he "can't acknowledge Ukrainian position" in this conflict. This is what Russia wants to do with its NS2 as well.

In Germany conservatives suffer their worst result ever; social-democrats regroup after miserable winter, but still far from their former strength. Greens reach all-time high, but plunge from early 2021 high. Far-rights are in decline, and communists can miss the 5% benchmark.
Effectively three coalitions are possible:
1) "Jamaica"(Conservatives, Greens, Liberals) - most probable and good option. The only problem here - chancellor Laschet, a weak and pro-Kremlin person. Excluding his personality, this coalition could be most efficient and progressive;
2) "Street light" (Soc-Dems, Greens, Liberals) - very unlikely, as positions of Soc-Dems and Liberals are almost impossible to combine. Still, this coalition may be a revenge by Liberals' leader Lindner towards Conservatives, who believe, the "own" Liberals as coalition partners;

Perfect timing: as Germany goes to elections tomorrow (and the politics is paralysed), Russia is about to start the new war on Balkans. Under its support, Serbia brings tanks and helicopters to the border to Kosava. And now well-organized Serbian mob shouts "Kosava is Serbia".
Suspicious Russian citizens (as often: male "tourists") tried to join Serbian mob on the territory of Kosava, were arrested by Kosava police:
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov met Serbian Foreign Minister today:

The current volatility among German parties (the SPD has gained over 100%, the Greens have lost almost 40% since May, the CDU plunges and bounces back like a penny stock) is a terrible signal. German voters are clearly disoriented, try to approach strategic questions emotionally.
We used to live in Germany with strong programmatic parties, where people's electoral behaviour is based on understanding they provide certain parties with a mandate for the next 4 years. Now, the mood swings because of such things like "did she took a right pose while talking".
This sort of decision-taking is incredibly childish. Voters prefer to forget they will have to live with the politicians who they elect now based on a two-second-long impression. It is not like to buy a €1 T-Shirt and throw it away next day. These people will rule our country!
