Putin's brilliant information war.

Ukraine's rejection of the ceasefire makes Ukraine and @ZelenskyyUa aggressors and portrays Ukraine as non-humanitarian as Ukrainians in Russian-held territory may be harmed by Western munitions violating the ceasefire.
#RussiaUkraine Putin knows history; @ZelenskyyUa understands comedy. Zelensky needs to read a bit of history about the Christmas Truce, a series of widely circulated informal ceasefires on the Western Front of World War I around Christmas 1914.

Блестящая информационная война Путина. Отказ Украины от прекращения огня делает Украину и @ZelenskyyUa агрессорами и изображает Украину негуманитарной, поскольку украинцы на удерживаемой Россией территории пострадают от украинских боеприпасов, нарушающих режим прекращения огня. Путин знает историю; @ZelenskyyUa разбирается в комедиях. Зеленскому нужно прочитать немного истории о Рождественском перемирии, серии широко распространенных неофициальных соглашений о прекращении огня на Западном фронте Первой мировой войны вокруг Рождества 1914 года.
