🇷🇺tries to distract us from the big picture🧵
Unlike Russia, Ukrainians do not want to dominate Europe, but to be a part of it🇪🇺🇺🇦
They do everything to defend their country and free the citizens from the terror of the occupation regime.
Putin wants to rob Ukraine of its future.

Ukrainian democracy has issues (like every democracy), but it's a democracy. The differences with Russia have become even bigger in the last 9 years.
Russia is an imperialist dictatorship and the Kremlin views the EU and what it stands for as an enemy, since many years already.

This is the big picture and we need to be aware of it.
Russian propaganda tries to distract and confuse us with a lot of disinfo about Ukraine. These stories are fabricated, exaggerated or taken out of context.
They know how to manipulate us and it works, since decades. #KGB

Because Westerners know so little about Ukraine, it is very easy to sell us various lies and people still buy it...in many cases they are looking for an excuse not to help or care for the fate of Ukrainians.
Not all people have to be paid to believe in Russian propaganda, there are several other motives: Ideology, ignorance or just a lack of information.
This does not mean that the fight against disinformation is always pointless, knowledge is a good "shield" against disinfo.

As with conspiracy theorists, it is very difficult for pro-Russian Westerners to change their stance.
Many have been stuck in this view for decades, but some have changed their minds since February 24, 2022, so there is hope.
