1/10 Scam alert: russia is not the conservative christian paradise it claims to be Image
2/10 russia enjoys portraying itself as a christian conservative paradise with traditional values, but the actual reality is quite different. Image
3/10 While substantial strides have been achieved in curbing HIV on a global scale, russia's epidemic has persisted over the last three decades. Approximately 1.1 million russians, out of a total population of 144 million, are currently living with HIV. Image
4/10 russia's life expectancy ranks 96th globally, with men having a life expectancy of only 66 years, which is lower than that of North Korea, Syria, or Bangladesh. Image
5/10 russia's intentional homicide rate is among the highest in Europe, if not the highest, depending on the year and statistics being considered. Image
6/10 Despite its efforts to combat abortions, russia still reported approximately a million abortions in 2017 alone. This figure continues to decline as the number of births also decreases. Image
7/10 russia has a low average monthly nominal wage of 71,419 roubles ($756). The percentage of russians who report that their salary does not cover basic expenses has risen by 20 points over two years, reaching nearly half of the population. Image
8/10 russia has a Muslim population of approximately 20 million people. It's notable that russia, despite having a significant Muslim population, continues to propagate disinformation about Europe being invaded by Islam. Image
9/10 As always, russia is being dishonest. Additionally, the concerning reality for russia is the current increase in both crime and alcoholism rates, following years of improvement in these areas. Image

P.S. Numerous critical metrics highlighting issues within russia are absent. For instance, russia exhibits alarmingly high suicide rates, ranking among the highest globally. Additionally, the country experiences elevated levels of divorce. Image

1/10 In this war, resources and technology overwhelmingly favor the West. Only disinformation favors russia. Image
2/10 russia's invasion of Ukraine represents a pathetic failure that will be closely analyzed in the coming decades. Despite 27 months of full-scale war, russia has been unable to capture any of the 23 regional capital and special status cities. Image
3/10 russia's invasion is also a genocidal effort, rationalized by denying the existence of the Ukrainian state and attempting to erase Ukrainian identity, culture, and history. Additionally, Ukrainian children are being kidnapped and sent to re-education camps. Image

1/12 We need to send a strong message: announcing long-term military aid commitments to Ukraine is necessary for russia to understand that it cannot outlast Ukraine. Image
2/12 Over the past few months, Ukraine has faced challenges such as a manpower shortage, incomplete defensive lines, insufficient shells, a general lack of equipment, and uncertainties regarding future deliveries. Image
3/12 While Ukraine's initial response was delayed, it is currently addressing the manpower issue through mobilization and fortification construction. Furthermore, Western initiatives and aid packages have been enacted to improve the availability of shells and equipment. Image

1/17 Ukraine will achieve victory through attrition. While challenging, Ukraine can outlast russia. Image
2/17 russia's genocide and unsuccessful full-scale invasion of Ukraine has persisted for nearly 27 months with no apparent conclusion in sight. Image
3/17 To date, russia has been unsuccessful in occupying any of Ukraine's 23 regional capital and special status cities, representing a significant and embarrassing failure that has been masked by highly strategic and impactful propaganda efforts. Image

1/18 We frequently mention the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive, but it is important to bear in mind that the russian offensives before and after it have also been substantial failures. Image
2/18 russian propaganda is powerful and often leads us to overlook the extent of failure in this war. If we had been told in March 2022 that the situation in May 2024 would be as it is now, we would have considered it a significant victory for Ukraine and a failure for russia. Image
3/18 As of now, russia has not succeeded in capturing any of the 23 regional capital cities and special status cities in Ukraine that were under Ukrainian control at the start of the full-scale invasion and remain under Ukrainian control today. Image

1/12 In Ukraine, russia is not only perpetrating genocide but also causing ecocide. Environmentalists should pay greater attention to this critical issue. Image
2/12 russia's botched invasion of Ukraine encompasses the perpetration of genocide, as russia rationalizes its war by negating the existence of the Ukrainian state and striving to obliterate Ukrainian national identity, culture, and history. Image
3/12 russia is additionally abducting thousands of Ukrainian children and relocating them to re-education camps in russia, which also amounts to genocide. Image

1/11 Emulating their idols: be cautious of russia's '40 to 60' disinformation method. Image
2/11 Have you observed that some individuals who were previously seen as supporters of Ukraine and opponents of Putin and russia's invasion of Ukraine have suddenly begun promoting Kremlin talking points? This shift is sometimes driven by a specific reason. Image
3/11 The '40 to 60' method, invented by Goebbels, involves producing content that presents 60 percent of information in favor of the adversary's interests. By gaining trust through this approach, the remaining 40 percent of content is then utilized for impactful disinformation. Image
