Today marks the 14th anniversary of the Russo-Georgian War waged back in 2008. We continue to record Russian #disinformation narratives targeting audiences both in #Georgia and elsewhere.
In the thread below, we have collected some of the key disinformation narratives:
Russian disinformation has been denying any responsibility over the conflict, and attempting to deflect the blame. For example, by blaming the Kremlin's favorite scapegoats, "Anglo-Saxons", for the war.

Another "oldie-but-not-goldie" narrative from the Kremlin chest of lies attempts to deny Georgia's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and in the worst extreme, also the right to exist as a nation.

Kremlin disinformation also aims at driving a wedge between Georgia and its international partners, such as the #EU and @NATO. As an example, by baselessly suggesting that international partners are using Georgia just as a pawn in the geopolitical game.

Finally, the deep-end of the torrent of Russian disinformation spews out pure conspiracy theories. Such as claims that US biolabs are producing and testing biological weapons around the world. Georgia has also been targeted by these bizarre claims.

“Russian economy is booming”, “sanctions are not working” – we hear these claims every day. But how true are they? We take a closer look at Kremlin’s manipulative narratives to lift the veil over the actual state of Russian economy and impact of Western sanctions. #DontBeDeceived
By claiming that "sanctions don't work" the Kremlin tries to distract from the fact that sanctions limit Russia's access to investment & tech, increase costs & cause reputation risks. Over time, sanctions make economies less efficient & less globally competitive #DontBeDeceived Image
The Kremlin has put all the eggs in the same basket. Massive military investments with little spillover to the civilian sectors will not mitigate the structural problems in Russia's economy & will inevitably cause more damage over time. #DontBeDeceived Image

Year 2022 was a busy year for the pro-Kremlin disinformation machinery. Russia launched an unprovoked war of aggression against its peaceful neighbour Ukraine, covering the heinous act with a thick layer of #disinformation and information manipulation #DontBeDeceived
During the coming days, let’s recap some of the most brazen and shameless moments of lies and deceit by the pro-Kremlin #disinformation in 2022 👇
Before we get into specifics, it’s important to recall that the Kremlin has been stoking tensions and spreading harmful lies about Ukraine for years before the all-out attack on 24 February

Ukrainian counteroffensives according to Russian #disinformation. Many excuses and explanations suggest confusion and disarray among the propagandists. Extreme calls for escalation and recent cries for a quick annexation betray deepening desperation.
🧵follows:
Disinfo: “Russian Army is regrouping. No worries; all is going according to plans. Only minimal reduction of the territory controlled.”
This excuse featured immediately after the first occupied territories were lost to the liberating Ukrainian forces.
washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/…
Disinfo: “A clever Russian trap that Ukraine walked into.”
A variation of the "regrouping - no panic" excuse. Attempting to preserve self-respect. Narrative was presented by the firebrand TV host Vladimir Solovyov after the first shock sunk in with Russian audiences.

For 31 years Moldova 🇲🇩 has safeguarded its freedom & independence against external turmoil & internal challenges. As it celebrates its Independence Day today, we asked the Moldovans what it means to them. This is what they said: 👇🧵
Independence is a process, not the result, proving it is a test of civic maturity. Image
Independence means freedom and inspires one to write a love song. Image
