THREAD| Key #narratives spread by Russian governmental organisations and #propagandists. #Russia’s ‘humanitarian assistance’, ‘Selfish West that does not think about the prosperity of the Global South’ and more ⬇️
🗣️Ukrainian people need humanitarian assistance but the #West sends them #weapons instead - says #Zakharova
💭Let’s make it look like we help people, care about the consequences, and let's try to shift attention away from the causes
🗣️There are #US-funded #biolabs in #Ukraine (see more at @StopFakingNews, @EUvsDisinfo)
💭Let’s appeal to all #conspiracytheories abroad to shift the attention, it seems to be working

#disinformation #RussianPropaganda
🗣️#Lavrov: There is no question of the isolation of #Russia. We have many partners in the world
💭Let’s use all of our ties with #authoritarian regimes, countries, and organisations that are dependent on us so we can #legitimate our #propaganda at home
🗣️The Selfish #West does not think about the prosperity of the Global South and other countries that suffer from #sanctions imposed on #Russia
💭Let's close our eyes at the #warcrimes the Russians commit and remember about other problems

THREAD| Over the last three weeks #Russian Orthodox #Church has been consistently mentioning #Ukraine in its news stories. Let's have a look at the key narratives spread by the Church regarding the Russian invasion. What they say and what they mean:
🗣 We must do everything to prevent the enemy from destroying our spiritual unity, around which the religious and cultural life of our united people, Russians and Ukrainians, was formed

💬 We must reunite a Russian Empire, if not peacefully then by force /1
🗣 We should be careful not only to assess the information that is being disseminated, but also be extremely attentive to your own statements about recent events

💬 Be careful with what you say, consequences might follow /2

Russian invasion is not only unethical but insidious. Tons of disinformation, fake videos, and photos are shared to justify this bloody and unjust war. Here is why lies that seem obviously propagandistic for the whole world work in Russia and on the occupied territories: ⬇️
🔷 Kremlin propagandists started priming the information environment for this invasion since Ukraine got its independence and have recently just reinforced this rhetoric which makes disinformation more powerful than it seems.
