The entire Ukraine is posting pictures and emoji of watermelons 🍉 today - a big symbol of Kherson oblast that provides this delicious treat to the entire country.
For over a decade, Russia has built one of its central propaganda myths around a false claim: that it is "fighting fascism" in Ukraine.
This narrative is not about truth — it is a weapon. The Kremlin uses it to justify aggression, mobilize Russian society, attack Ukraine’s statehood, and disguise war crimes as “liberation.”
Through official statements, media manipulation, films, and fabricated “research".
Russia spreads five key sub-narratives, we lay the out here:
Russians say they are fighting fascists.
Yes, Russia, the country that meets every tangible definition of a fascist state, says they are fighting fascism.
The 5 key sub-narratives Russians use to perpetuate this myth:
1/9 Resulting from Russia's invasion, 80 animal species are on the brink of extinction: Just one of the hidden costs of Russia’s invasion. 🐾💔
@VitscheBerlin
2/9 The European Bison was nearly extinct, but conservation efforts in Ukraine helped restore their population. Now, Russia’s invasion threatens their fragile existence again.
3/9 Black Sea dolphins 🐬: Resulting from from Russian sonar systems that disorient and deafen dolphins, from 2022, dolphin deaths along the Black Sea coast have doubled or even tripled.
Putin signed a decree according to which orphans and children without parental care who are citizens of Ukraine can obtain Russian citizenship.
This is another evidence of Russia's attempts to forcibly assimilate Ukrainian children and deprive them of their own homeland.
Putin's decree aims to deprive abducted Ukrainian children of the opportunity to return to Ukraine.
The occupiers systematically take Ukrainian children to re-education centers and for adoption by Russian families. Today, the names of about 20,000 minors deported by Russia have been established.
Briefly, he helped the Russians during the invasion of Ukraine. The longer answer is in our thread below. 🧵
Tucker Carlson, a former TV presenter fired from Fox News in April 2023, once again made several claims against Ukraine. This time, he accused the Security Service of Ukraine of arresting and “torturing” U.S. citizen Gonzalo Lira for allegedly “the crime of criticizing Zelensky.”
Elon Musk, the owner of the social network X, who apparently trusted the information mentioned in the blog, supported Carlson and publicly appealed to the President of Ukraine.
Israeli Channel 11 showed a fake video about Ukraine's transfer of Western weapons to HAMAS. We requested the channel to refute the fake and apologise.
On October 24, we refuted the fake about transferring AT4 and NLAW anti-tank weapons to HAMAS fighters. At that time, we pointed out numerous signs of fabrication of this video.
In particular, we indicated that all the weapons shown were spent. We also drew attention to the fact that since October, the world has not seen the use of Western anti-tank weapons during the hostilities in Israel, which gives an obvious answer: terrorists do not have them.
HAMAS' terrorist attack on Israel gave Russia an excuse to pump out more propaganda. Check out how Russians activated their propaganda machine and what they blame Ukraine for 🧵
