Today, the kremlin is waging war not only with missiles, tanks and guns. The information war does not have a clearly defined front line. By investing significant resources in it, the russian authorities are trying to destabilize Ukraine and the world, influence political processes and shape public opinion in different regions of the planet in their own invasive interests.
russian propaganda supports violence, justifies aggression and war crimes, uses dehumanization and hatred of Ukraine as fuel for war, argues Ukraine’s ability to continue the fight. It has faces that the whole world needs to know – to know in order to block, impose sanctions, deny entry, close bank accounts, and cease all cooperation.
The aggressor`s propaganda troops have no place in the civilized world!
