⚡"Talking points" are distributed among the #Russian media on how to cover the "evacuation" and events around the escalation in the east of #Ukraine. Such papers were obtained by @StratcomCentre. More in this thread👇
The document includes 5 topics with instructions which key points to put emphasis on while covering:

📌 mobilization: positioning what is forced mobilization as a necessary call to "to protect #Donbas, freedom" and all "#Russian people"; propaganda of "patriotism"
📌 evacuation: promoting it as a forced security measure in the face of "an attack by the #Ukrainian army"; calling it "help from brotherly #Russia" and pushing messages about the "support" provided by the United Russia ruling party
📌 work of government: hospitals are "preparing to admit the military and the wounded"; painting the picture of the "well-timed action of authorities"
📌 #Ukraine's crimes in #Donbas: fakes about "mass execution and atrocities by the #Ukrainian army"; manipulations about people going missing in "Avdiivka captured by the Armed Forces"; lies about the widespread looting by the Ukrainian army
Special attention should be paid to the guidelines of how the current state of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine should be portrayed:

📣 "the moral and psychological condition of the Kyiv forces is deteriorating, they continue looting and picking fights"
📣 "Ukrainian government cannot cope with managing their own army, the AFU are demoralized", etc., which in a nutshell, follows the traditional messaging aimed to discredit the Ukrainian military

🕯️Today, on the 80th anniversary of the mass deportations in the Baltic states by the #Soviet Union occupation forces, we are yet again reminded of the crimes perpetrated by this bloody regime:
▪️ On the night of 13–14 June 1941, the NKVD, the #Soviet secret service, started the operation aimed at purging the Baltic space of the most active anti-Soviet forces.
▪️ Tens of thousands of people were deported to the #Soviet Far East without trials in whole families (check the infographic below for the breakdown by countries).

Read this thread to learn some of the key messages communicated by the speakers ⤵️
💡‘Russkiy Mir’ depends not only on #disinformation but on a whole range of other tools, such as institutions, active measures, historical revisionism, and influence through religion. In particular, #Russian diaspora is actively weaponized to impose ‘Russkiy Mir’ abroad.
