Not enough money to support its own "second-best army of the world."
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of 🇷🇺 RT, called for the raising of income taxes in #Russia on individuals who earn more than 5 million rubles (approx. $80 thousand) a year. 👇#AgainstRussianLies
#InfoWatch
In saying this, Simonyan confirmed two things.
👉she made clear that the Kremlin’s propagandists earn many times more than its soldiers.
👉 she admitted that 🇷🇺 is having serious problems financially supporting those whom it has sent to “liberate Ukrainians”. #RussiaUkraineWar
She says that a society in which "officers receive less than taxi drivers" is " sick," and that “if there are people in our society who think that this is normal, they are sick.” #StopRussia
Russia is a country where a doctor, engineer, teacher and military officer combined earn much less than a single TV propagandist like Margarita Simonyan, just because she has dedicated her professional life to spreading the Kremlin’s malinformation.

What are the prospects of a customs visa-free regime for Ukraine? UkraineWorld spoke to Veronika Movchan, Research Director at the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis: 1/10

What are the prospects of Ukraine-NATO cooperation? UkraineWorld spoke to Hanna Shelest, director of Security Programmes at the Ukrainian Prism Foreign Policy Council. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis: 1/14
It is hardly possible for Ukraine to join NATO during active military operations. The reason is not limited by mere technicalities, but by the North Atlantic Treaty itself. 2/14
The Treaty states clearly that a candidate country must contribute to transatlantic security. Accordingly, when there are active hostilities, disputes arise: is the candidate country protecting Europe, or will it bring additional problems? 3/14
