Russian propaganda uses history as the instrument of the war. It aims to emphasize the historical ties between Ukraine and Russia. Russia highlights its connection with Kyivan Rus', portraying the latter as a "common ancestral state" of Russia and Ukraine. Detector Media
Russia used this historical manipulation for centuries, trying to create a myth of its great ancestry. The name "Russia" was appropriated to create a connection with the Kyivan Rus’, despite that there were no nations in a modern sense a thousand years ago. They evolved later, as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
The propagandistic narrative evolved stronger after 2014 trying to completely remove Ukraine from its own historical identity. "Kyivan Rus" has been replaced with "Ancient Rus" or "Rus" in Russian info space. Moreover, Putin himself attempted to belittle Kyiv's significance as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Propaganda uses historical figures like Prince Volodymyr the Great, who ruled Kyivan Rus' and baptized it, as part of a common Russian historical heritage. This diminishes Ukraine's cultural identity, reinforcing a "cultural kinship" while undermining Ukraine's sovereignty. The monument to Volodymyr T...
By discrediting 🇺🇦 historical legitimacy, Russian propaganda seeks to justify its occupation of Ukrainian lands. It aims to deprive Ukraine of its right to sovereignty and reinforce the perception that Russia has a rightful claim over Ukrainian territories. #StopRussianPropaganda Image

Russian propaganda tirelessly produced a huge number of fakes about the Kakhovka HPP destructed by them. Some of them even contradict one another. Collected for you the main fake narratives and their debunk👇 Image
🇺🇦alleged destruction of the HPP is a baseless claim aimed at delaying the counteroffensive & gaining more Western support. 🇺🇦, 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺 claim Russia is responsible for the act. Meanwhile, according to @Podolyak_M, the Russian 205th motorized rifle brigade could have blown the dam Image
Claims of 🇺🇦 missile destruction of the dam lack substance because the missile hits of 🇷🇺 supply routes were already conducted in the summer of 2022. And Kahovka HPP remained fine. Missiles alone cannot obliterate the plant; its destruction requires substantial explosives… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Russia has blown up Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, committing, probably, the biggest technogenic catastrophe Europe hasn't seen for decades and endangering the lives of thousands of people. Due to Ukrhydroenergo, Kakhovka HPP is completely destroyed and cannot be restored. A… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The ZNPP poses the greatest concern as it relies on water from the Kakhovka reservoir for cooling. If the water level drops and there is not enough in the cooling ponds, which might happen because of the blow-up, it increases the threat of nuclear accidents. Image
Water pollution and diverse ecosystem elimination pose ecological threats of the int scale. The water, contaminated with garbage & chemicals, flows into the Black Sea and then - to the Mediterranean. The Dnipro River Delta and Lower Dniester National Nature Park are at risk of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🇷🇺 army is in such great condition it hires combats worldwide to die in the Russian holy war in Ukraine. Wagner PMC recruits for combat, IT, PSYOP, medical positions, and more on Twitter and FB. Research by @politico and @LogicallyAI exposes 60 job ads with 120,000 views. Image
The direct connection between the aids to Wagner can't be attributed. Still, the researchers find similarities between these posts and the Wagner ones on 🇷🇺 platforms like Telegram and VK. The language used strongly resembles the paramilitary group and its supporters. Image
An analysis from a Western gov official, shared with @politico, confirmed that at least 2 phone numbers in these aid posts are linked to Wagner Group or Russia's intelligence service. The researchers mentioned that Twitter didn’t give a meaningful commentary on the situation. Image

Ukraine isn’t the only country that has territorial disputes with Russia. Moreover, our resistance and striving to return our lands is a signal for other countries — don’t hesitate to restore justice🧵 Image
Japan was the first to take action as on March 8, 2022 PM Fumio Kishida addressed Russia regarding the Southern Kuriles islands, referring to them as an "integral part" of Japan. The dispute dates back to 1945 when the Kuriles were occupied by the then USSR, now Russia. Image
For the past thirty years, Moldova has had territorial claims on the self-proclaimed Transnistrian Moldovan Republic, an enclave established in the East of the country. The authority within this region relies entirely on the presence of 🇷🇺 military forces, deployed there in 1991. Image

“Every day, 82 million Russians tune into a vast web of state-controlled channels that feeds them a uniform vision of the world: a hostile, scary place, in which Russia wages a righteous battle against the forces of evil.” @AEdelWriter spent a day watching 🇷🇺 TV & described the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The Kremlin has mastered the USSR's power of propaganda, using it to co-opt the 🇷🇺 into supporting the war. TV remains the primary news source, broadcasting the Kremlin's narrative 24/7. Channel One dominates where the news of battles with "🇺🇦 Nazis" takes precedence,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
News program Vremya (Time), once a symbol of Soviet solemnity, now presents biased views with a smirk. Hosts mock foreign leaders & portray 🇺🇦 as "tamed murderers." Talk shows dehumanize Ukrainians and glorify the war as a "blessed deed." 🇷🇺 soldiers are "heroes," 🇺🇦 are… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

The topic of the right-wing views of Ukrainian battalions has been the most used in Russian propaganda since Euromaidan. Unfortunately, some people, even professionals, accept 🇷🇺 distorted interpretation about "Nazis in Ukraine" without diving into the context. Image
During the 2014 elections, 🇺🇦parliamentary only 2% voted for ultra-nationalist parties. Today, there is not a single far-right party in the parliament. This shows that right radical ideology is declined by 🇺🇦society. @ZelenskyyUa is Jewish. In 2018, @pewresearch said that 🇺🇦had… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Every army is a cross-section of society, with its own minorities, even those as marginal as the far right. Don't base your idea of a nation or army on a few context-free photos of skull and crossbones patches. Firstly, many of them are simply made up by Russians, and secondly,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
