Since the Russian offensive inside Ukraine commenced on February 24, the Ukrainian military has cultivated the image of a plucky little army standing up to the Russian Goliath. To bolster the perception of Ukrainian military mettle, Kiev has churned out a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda aimed at stirring public and official support from Western countries.
The campaign includes language guides, key messages, and hundreds of propaganda posters, some of which contain fascist imagery and even praise Neo-Nazi leaders.
Behind Ukraine’s public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.
Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also psy-ops.” The Post ultimately conceded that “Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom.”
Key to the propaganda effort is an international legion of public relations firms working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wage information warfare.
According to the industry news site PRWeek, the initiative was launched by an anonymous figure who allegedly founded a Ukraine-based public relations firm.
“From the first hour of war, we decided to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help them distribute the official sources to show the truth,” the nameless figure told PR Week. “This is a hybrid war: the mix of bloodily struggling fight with a huge disinformation and fake campaign lead by Russia [sic].”
According to the anonymous figure, more than 150 public relations firms have joined the propaganda blitz.
The international effort is spearheaded by public relations firm PR Network co-founder Nicky Regazzoni and Francis Ingham, a top public relations consultant with close ties to the UK’s government. Ingraham previously worked for Britain’s Conservative Party, sits on the UK Government Communication Service Strategy and Evaluation Council, is Chief Executive of the International Communications Consultancy Organisation, and leads the membership body for UK local government communicators, LG Comms.
“We’ve been privileged to help coordinate efforts to support the Ukrainian Government in the last few days, “ Ingham told PRovoke Media. “Agencies have offered up entire teams to support Kyiv in the communications war. Our support for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is unwavering and will continue for as long as needed.”
With an anonymous Ukrainian figure joining two of the top public relations figures in the Kiev government’s propaganda blitz, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs distributed a dossier folder (archived) with materials instructing public relations agencies on “key messages,” approved language, content for debunked propaganda constructs, far-right and Neo-Nazi propaganda.
The folder is run by Yaroslav Turbil, described on his LinkedIn page as “Head of Ukraine.ua — Ukraine’s digital ecosystem for global communications. Strategic Communications & Country Brand Promotion.” Turbil has worked at multiple “civil society” organizations closely linked to the U.S. government and interned at Internews, a U.S. intelligence-linked organization that operates under the guise of promoting press freedom.
Among the propaganda constructs distributed in the dossier, is a video of the Snake Island incident, which was quickly proven false, in which Ukrainian border guards stationed on a small island were reported to have been killed after they told an approaching Russian warship that had urged them to surrender to “Go f*** yourself.” President Zelensky held a press conference announcing he would award the men the Hero of Ukraine medal as mainstream media spread the story widely. However, the supposedly-dead soldiers quickly turned up alive and well, proving their heroic stand to be a farce.
Despite the story being proven as fake, the dossier contains a propaganda video promoting it.
Another folder in the dossier is run by Ukrainian MFA graphic artist Dasha Podoltseva and contains hundreds of propaganda graphics submitted by artists in Europe and the United States.
Some feature generic “no war” messages, while dozens of other images celebrate “The Ghost of Kiev” – a heroic Ukrainian pilot who turns out to be non-existent – and the phony “Snake Island 13” incident.
Many use xenophobic and racist language, and some are explicit in their praise of prominent Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, including C14 leader Yevhen Karas, the Right Sector fascist paramilitary, and the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion. Multiple images call for “Banderite smoothies” – a reference to Molotov cocktails named for the late OUN-B commander Stephan Bandera, who collaborated with Nazi Germany in the mass murder of Jews and ethnic Poles during World War II. Another image depicts a book titled the: ”Encyclopedia of Incurable Diseases,” listing Russia, Belorussia, North Korea, Syria, and Eritrea.

Foreign extremists flock to Ukraine
The dossier also contains a link to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs page called “Fight for Ukraine,” which provides instructions for foreigners who wish to join Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi-infested armed forces – termed the “International Defense Legion of Ukraine.”
Following Zelensky’s call for foreign fighters to form a brigade, fighters from all over the world, including the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and more have traveled to face Russian forces. Others with no combat training or experience have arrived for “war tourism” – what one British soldier called “bullet-catchers.”

While the Ukrainian government says tens of thousands have answered their call, some commentators expressed doubt at those figures, calling it a “PR exercise.”
However, the foreigners who have traveled to Ukraine have encountered a much more severe reality than they anticipated.
Russia’s air force bombed military installations adjacent to where the foreign fighters were sleeping. Having fled to neighboring Poland, a Spanish fighter described the bombing as a “message” that could have killed thousands.
Similarly, an American fighter who hid in an ambulance to escape the frontlines warned that Ukrainian authorities were killing foreigners who decided not to fight, calling it a “trap.”
Correct wording
One document inside the dossier delineates acceptable language on the conflict with Russia as determined by the Ukrainian government.
“Such Russian clichés like ‘referendum in Crimea’ or ‘will of the people of Crimea’ are absolutely unacceptable,” the document states, in reference to the 2014 overwhelmingly successful referendum to separate from Ukraine.
The document deems unacceptable the terms “Civil war in Donbass,” “Internal conflict,” “Conflict in Ukraine” and “Ukrainian crisis” to describe the Ukrainian military’s war with the breakaway republics of the Donbass region. This, despite the fact that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights estimates that 14,200 people, including 3,404 civilians, have been killed in internal fighting in Ukraine since 2014.
In place of these phrases, the document calls for the use of the terms “Armed aggression by the Russian Federation in Donbass, international armed conflict, Russian war against Ukraine, Russian-Ukrainian conflict armed conflict.”
Key Messages
Another document titled “Key Messages” contains specific propaganda claims that were widely disseminated in mainstream western media, but which have since been discredited. One section claims the “entire Europe was put on the brink of nuclear disaster, when the Russian troops began shelling the largest in Europe Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.”
However, International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said that the building hit by a Russian “projectile” at the Zaporizhzhia plant was “not part of the reactor” but instead a training center. Russian troops also left Ukrainian workers to continue operating the plant.

Another section thanks Turkey for the decision “to block the access of Russian warships to the Black Sea.”
However, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan closed the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to all military vessels, preventing both NATO and Russian vessels from accessing the Black Sea.
Among the document’s key messages is a statement of gratitude to the “Anti-war demonstrations held by citizens of many nations throughout the world demonstrate strong support to Ukraine in defending against Russia.”
This refers to large pro-Ukraine demonstrations in Europe which have featured calls for the U.S. and NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine and shoot down Russian military aircraft, potentially transforming the conflict into a world war between nuclear-armed powers.

“Despite Russia’s propaganda, there is no discrimination based on the race or nationality, including when it comes to the crossing of the state border by foreign citizens,” claims the Ukrainian document.
However, numerous videos and reports have documented Ukrainian authorities preventing Africans from fleeing the fighting. Even the New York Times – hardly a bastion of Kremlin propaganda – published a report documenting these racist practices.
One message says that “On 16 March, the Russian forces dropped a bomb on a drama theatre where up to 1300 civilians were being sheltered. The number of casualties is still unknown.”
However, as Max Blumenthal reported the explosion appears to be the result of a false flag operation designed by the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and aimed at triggering a NATO intervention.
NATO-backed troll farms
Another anonymously-penned investigation shows how Ukrainian public relations firms have used targeted advertisements to astroturf Russian internet and social media networks with messaging calling to economically isolate Moscow and “stop the war.” This effort is led by Bezlepkin Evgeny Vitalievich, who uses the alias Evgeny Korolev, along with Pavel Antonov of the Targetorium organization. From behind his Korolev pseudonym, the Ukrainian information warrior composed a post on his Facebook page (now private) boasting that his firm’s Facebook ads achieved 30 million hits in three days.
At the same time, Facebook has blocked Russian state-owned media outlets from running ads and monetizing content. Several fake accounts for media outlets like Russia 24 have sprung up, burying the authentic account under a series of impostors. Facebook has also marked statements from Russian officials, including the Ministry of Defense, as “false.”
This campaign has reportedly been carried out upon recommendation from StopFake, a self-described “fact checking” outlet that is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, Atlantic Council, Czech and UK foreign ministries, and the International Renaissance Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
StopFake was hired by Facebook in March 2020 to “curb the flow of Russian propaganda” but was found to be employing multiple figures closely tied to violent Neo-Nazis. The journalist who co-authored the exposé received death threats and ultimately fled Ukraine.
Those revelations have apparently not prevented Facebook from relying on the organization for censorship guidance.
Meanwhile, Russian hackers located a public Google document (since made private, uploaded here) detailing the propaganda operation, which has been distributed in Telegram channels of “creative farms.”
“Here you can find links to Ukrainian media that need promotion, bot accounts with logins and passwords from which anti-war messages and messages with fakes about the Ministry of Defense were sent to users, theses and specific instructions on which posts and which audiences to embroider,” the investigation reads.
Another campaign is run by Nataliya Popovych, the founder of the public relations agency, One Philosophy, in Kiev. Popovych’s LinkedIn profile shows she has worked with the U.S. State Department and advised former President Petro Poroshenko. She is also co-founder and board member of Ukraine Crisis Media Center, a propaganda arm funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. Embassy, and NATO, among many others.
A Campaign Asia article profiles several public relations firms involved in the effort. Among them is Richard Edelman, CEO of Edelman PR. Edelman is also a member of the Atlantic Council’s Board of Directors and the World Economic Forum.
“Geopolitics has become the new test for trust. We saw this with the allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang and the war between Ukraine and Russia has only reinforced it,” he said, linking the U.S. propaganda campaign surrounding China’s deradicalization campaign for Uyghur Muslims.
PR approved media outlets
An article in PRWeek profiles several figures partaking in what they describe as a “PR army” that is “fighting on the informational frontline” against Russia’s “barbaric genocide of Ukrainians.”
“Propaganda is the same as real lethal weapons,” declares Marta Dzhumaha, PR manager at healthcare company BetterMe.
Julia Petryk, head of public relations at MacPaw, offers a list of approved media outlets, authored by her colleague Tetiana Bronistka, a former employee of Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office. The list includes Russian and English language sources, as well as Telegram channels. However, these “verified sources that objectively cover what is happening in Ukraine” are anything but independent. Most of them are tied to the U.S. and European governments and billionaire foundations.
She also lists several Russian-language websites:
- Novaya Gazeta – Tied to and reportedly funded by the National Endowment for Democracy
- Meduza – Funded by the government of Latvia, OAK Foundation, Open Society Foundation oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorovsky, and Sweden
- Dozhd – SREDA foundation, European Commission
- Holod Media – Offshoot of Meduza – praised in PBS and CNN as “independent media”
- Proposed that Leningrad should have been surrendered to the Nazis in World War 2 and has complained that they are called a “fifth column” for being funded by western powers
- BBC Russia – British government media
- Current Time TV – Created by CIA-founded propaganda outlet Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in collaboration with Voice of America
- Censor – funded by, editor in chief Yuri Butusov, former advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine
- 200RF – A Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that claims to publish publishes photos and documents of the Russian soldiers captured and killed in action
Among the Telegram channels listed are:
- Radio Svoboda – CIA-founded propaganda organ Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
- Espresso TV, largely owned by the wife of former Ukrainian member of parliament Mykola Knyazhytsky
- Censor.net, formerly the largest media site in Ukraine, whose motto is “To bring down Russia”, and whose owner operates a “parade of international trolls.”
Intelligence operations
While the public relations firms distribute content, CIA cutouts and billionaire foundations run the media outlets they derive it from. At the core of this operation is a project called the Russian Language News Exchange that was the product of a network of opposition media outlets founded in 2016 that operate in post-Soviet countries, as revealed by an investigation by the Russian media agency, RIA FAN.
In July 2021, a group of journalists flew to Warsaw for media training after being exempted from coronavirus-related restrictions and quarantine orders by Poland’s top medical authorities.
Among the six journalists were Andrey Lipsky, deputy editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, and Yuliia Fediv, CEO of Hromadske TV media, one of the most-watched networks in Ukraine.
Hromadske’s financial reports show it is funded by numerous governments and foundations, including the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the European Endowment for Democracy, and Free Press Unlimited. Silicon Valley billionaire Pierre Omidary was also involved in creating the outlet.
Hromadske recently hosted a commentator demanding genocide of ethnic Russians in the Donbass, saying it is populated with 1.5 “superfluous” people that “must be exterminated.”
The training, held behind closed doors from July 19 to July 21, was titled “Media Network 2021+” and closely tied to Mediaset, also known as the Russian Language News Exchange, a network founded in 2015. Russian Language News Exchange’s website is sparse, with little available information on its activities – apparently made private since the publication of RIA FAN’s investigation.
While it claims to be independent, Russian Language News Exchange is a project of Free Press Unlimited, funded by the Dutch government and the European Commission.
Today, it includes 14 media outlets that act as “nodes,” cross-publishing each other’s articles in various countries.
The website’s introductory video is hosted by Maxim Eristavi, a former Radio Free Europe reporter and founder of Hromadske. Today, he heads the Millennium Leadership Program at the NATO and arms industry-backed think tank, the Atlantic Council.
Since its inception, Mediaset has coordinated between outlets in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine. In March 2021, Mediaset expanded with the Colab Medios Project, created through the Free Press Unlimited Viable Media for Empowered Societies (VIMES) program. This program created training for journalists and saw articles from the El Salvadoran outlet El Faro published in Euroradio (Belarus), Coda (Georgia), and Ziarul de Garda (Moldova).
On March 4, several days after Russia launched its military offensive, a new project called the Media Lifeline Ukraine was created.
The next day, Free Press Unlimited held an emergency conference for Ukraine featuring Hromadske co-founders Maxim Eristavi and Nataliya Gumenyuk. The meeting called to raise 2 million euros for the project. “Only with ongoing external support, will local media entities be able to continue to do their work,” its introductory page asks.
Days later, Free Press Unlimited announced a partnership to support a new joint project of Reporters Without Borders and its Ukrainian partner, the Institute for Mass Information, called The Lviv Press Freedom Center. The Institute for Mass Information is headed by USAID communications officer Oksana Romaniuk and funded by USAID and the UK government.
Washington DC lobbyists wag the dog
While public relations firms and intelligence-linked propaganda operations target the public, Washington DC lobbyists are agitating in Congress to extend the war in Ukraine
Daniel Vajdich, a registered foreign agent and lobbyist for the Ukrainian Federation of Employers of the Oil and Gas Industry, the largest in Ukraine, is working on behalf of Volodymyr Zelensky to lobby members of Congress to approve more weapons shipments to Ukraine. Now the head of Yorktown Solutions, he previously advised Ted Cruz and Scott Walker’s campaigns and is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.
“Stingers, Javelins, and let’s figure out the fighter aircraft issue,” he told Politico, claiming Russia is attempting to carry out a “genocide” and “depopulate certain areas of Ukraine.”
Vajdich also wrote Zelenskyy’s March 16 speech to U.S. Congress, in which he quoted Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech to call for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
Ukrainian Permanent Representative at the United Nations Sergiy Kyslytsya’s February 23 speech to the United Nations General Assembly was written by DC lobbying firm SKDKnickerbocker Managing Director Stephen Krupin, a former senior speechwriter to President Barack Obama who worked extensively on Biden’s 2020 campaign.
Most prominent among the registered lobbyists promoting Ukrainian government and business interests is Andrew Mac, who also contributed to writing Zeleneksyy’s speech to Congress. Mac registered as a lobbyist for Zelensky in 2019 and runs the Washington DC office of Ukrainian law firm Asters Law.
The lobbying firm Your Global Strategy, founded by Shai Franklin, who has been affiliated with numerous Zionist organizations including the World Jewish Congress and Anti-Defamation League, is also using its influence with local officials in the U.S. Franklin has set up meetings between Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov and U.S. mayors, including Eric Adams in New York City, Michelle Wu in Boston and Lori Lightfoot in Chicago. He is also attempting to set up a meeting between U.S. officials and the mayors of Odessa and Kiev. A media outlet owned by the mayor of Kiev’s wife recently featured a presenter calling for genocide against Russians, beginning with children.
Franklin said he’s working with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s administration to help set up virtual meetings between mayors of Odessa and Kiev and U.S. counterparts.
Maryland-based lawyer Lukas Jan Kaczmarek is also working on behalf of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to increase U.S. weapons shipments, specifically seeking to arrange shipments of guns from Kel-Tec CNC Industries based in Cocoa, Florida, to the city of Odessa, Ukraine.
Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul described the network of public relations professionals and lobbyists surrounding Zelenskyy. “These are people around Mr. Zelenskyy who are like the intermediaries and interlocutors. They’ve been interacting with the American elites and American media for a long time,” he said.
McFaul and John E. Herbst, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, act as informal advisors to Zelenskyy. McFaul told Politico that he speaks to Ukrainian government officials “probably everyday,” and “has helped them make connections with NBC or MSNBC producers.”
McFaul recently told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that “Hitler did not kill German-speaking people, facing accusations of Holocaust denial.
Zelenskyy also held a “strategic video call” with McFaul before he spoke to House democrats.
With a powerful Russian military fighting alongside DPR and LPR forces, the Ukrainian military’s defeat seems to be imminent unless the United States and NATO directly confront Russian forces, a scenario President Biden has already ruled out. Lobbyists nevertheless persist in their campaign to portray the Ukrainian military as underdogs scoring blow after blow against Russian hordes. In doing so, they help extend the war and continue the carnage.
Dan Cohen is the Washington DC correspondent for Behind The Headlines. He has produced widely distributed video reports and print dispatches from across Israel-Palestine. He tweets at @DanCohen3000.
Ukraine will end as a country, very soon. Mariopol has fallen. More to follow. As the cities fall the pressure on the frontlines will increase. Zelensky is throwing every nazi i to the meat grinder. He thinks after he got rid of radicals he can ask for peace but he is wrong. There wont be peace until he is done along with the CIA run kiev junta.
The racist Ukiranian Nazi scum have lost the propaganda war too as the limpdick NATO summit clearly showed denebted Biden’s diapers. No NATOfaggot will die for bandera rapists, cowards and drug addicted Nazis. Russia has the world’s blessings to flatten Kiev.
Amen.
Ukrainian lies and propaganda now getting totally ridiculous.

Russians and Belarussians affected by sanctions can still use PayPal by borrowing real PayPal accounts from real owners on “ProxyPayee” The service is meant for anyone who needs PayPal to receive payments from companies or marketplaces for services or digital items they sell online. Payments can come from companies only, not individuals, unless in exceptional cases. There’s a one-time setup fee of $25 or $120 depending on the service type. You’ll also pay a monthly $2 + 5% of all monies received through those borrowed accounts. Your money is sent to you via Bitcoin, Payoneer, and a few other channels.
sure, just send money to some random anonymous online entity that has no verifiable address listed and is therefore unreachable in case of dispute. Surely, nothing will go wrong.
Every Ukrainian fight vs Putin fascists. Mariupol still not fallen.
And they continue to resist even after weapons are taken.
This is from kherson: https://youtu.be/zCrQsmirABo
Russophobia is embedded in the racist Anglo-Saxon DNA as Pepe Escobar in Asia Times has correctly described. The deviant British are the main instigators, armorers and cheerleaders of this unfortunate Slavic fratricide. The conflict in Ukraine has nothing to do with Ukraine, but is aimed at the Balkanization of Russia since the days of the Raj and the great game. Russia has no other option but to see this operation to a successful conclusion, whatever the cost. It is also crystal clear that no NATO vassal with fight against Russia for the fear of a nuclear war. On a global scale Russia has the support of the majority of the world’s population and the Indian and Chinese vote yet again showed. It is time for Russia to go on a war footing and also unleash its immense patriotic fervor by using its state media to inform the Russian population of the real Anglo-NATO agenda.
British racists are pure evil arseholes. They are cheats, liars and backstabbers that stole $45 TRILLION from India lone. Just ask any Indian.
That works out over a half million quid for every single one of us! Does any one know where my share went?
The Crown Jewels ?
Killing more people
When brothers and sisters don’t obey, screw them, I learned from Nazi and Stalin!
I’m your ruler, if you like it or not!
Still not fallen because the Putin cockroaches can’t take the Azovstal steel plant which is the only thing that Putin the terrorist cockroach doesn’t want destroyed. It’s not like the mass murdering cockroach has any Russian soldiers that are good at anything other than shooting artillery from far away like cowardly cockroaches.
So, you just admitted Russian forces do not want to damage Ukrainian civil infrastructure whenever they can avoid such damage. Because, they are not the USA in Iraq or Syria, who destroy civil infrastructure as their strategic policy, to try and cripple those countries for next decades ahead (and give US client state Israel a regional advantage). Now, see the difference in operations? Thank you, for pointing out that obvious and MASSIVE strategic difference between the wantonly destructive USA, and the destruction avoidant Russia to EVERYONE on the SF forum.
Why are you still trying your bullshit. This article just destroyed you from A to Z
Legit, the guy has a lithium-battery up his ass. He is a cyborg.
Here is Kherson today: https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1507726724242591748 Looks pretty peaceful to me. Where are you phantom counter attacks?
That could work in the first 3 days of war but now it’s too late.
Where Mariupol fell? Schoigu, can you confirm?
Schoigu? Where are you?
The Putin cockroaches are burning Ukranian history books and textbooks trying to erase Ukranian history. Just like the Nazis did in Word War 2. Adolf Hitler would be proud of Putin the terrorist cockroach.
Are you blaming russians for burning Nazi books and symbols? There is plenty of evidence, footage and eye witnesses, who can confirm that the Nazis use the civilians as human shields. They are so heroic that they hide in kindergardens, elementary schools, and hospitals.
Remember it was the Russians who helped to defeat the Nazis in ww2. Unlike some Ukrainian Nazi lovers like Stepan Bandera who collaborated with the Nazis to exterminate the Jews and polish people in WW2. The Ukrainian history is not something to be proud of. No wonder you still have Nazis like Azov and these monsters got the direct support from the puppet Ukrainian government.
The US and the world are now starting to whisper that nuclear war is winnable. Nobody is questioning what happens when you target a nuclear reactor complex with a nuclear weapon. As far as I can tell, each cooling pond has approximately 50 tons of fissionable material at ground zero. Will someone explain to me why that will not make a 100 Megatron hydrogen bomb look like a firecracker. I understand that the operation in Ukraine needed to stop a slaughter of ethnic Russians from an invasion that was days away. And the concentration of front line troops on the Donbass border made Russia’s strike into Ukraine far more effective. And all this propaganda backlash a planned event. I don’t think I am witnessing anything more than mindless gangster capitalism. Is that all there is? Is the Azov battalions the real face of American imperialism at its basic level?
Yes, the cities of Ukraine will fall like pizza into my hungry Italian mouth.
In your dreams
The only question is will Kiev fight till the last ukrop same as adolf did or not. The outcome is the same.
They fight against threat vs democracy and freedom, just like Finland in Winterwar.
Every ukrainian fights.
Ukraine gets more help than what Finland did, so they have good chance to kick RU out.
Yes, true I saw this on TV. Just like the CONvid PLANdemic for the last 2 years.
Get ur 4th booster shot, sheep.
Do you mean Nazi democracy? Some of their so patriotic and democratic government officials has already illegally taken out 2,6 billion euro abroad. So much for democracy.
I am trying post the link but somehow it doesn’t work. You can find the article on news-front page.
Since I can’t post the link to the article, i will copy the information from the report.
*The Ukrainian authorities are already well aware of how Russia’s special operation to denazify and demilitarize the country will end for them. They began to export valuables abroad. Ilya Kiva, now an opposition member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, spoke about this, RIA Novosti reports. Parliament stripped him of his mandate.
“Over the past month, 2.6 billion euros in cash was illegally taken out by “patriotic” Ukrainian officials who are ready to die for Ukraine in a Facebook photo,” the politician wrote on his Telegram channel.
The ardent “defenders” of Ukraine from TV screens and social networks are calling on the people to go almost with sticks against Russian tanks, while they themselves are taking the stolen millions abroad. Clumsy propaganda broadcasts myths about the victories of the Ukrainian army, but officials who know the truth are hastily packing their bags*
Article from news-front.
Ukraine is not a democracy never was.

Truth always prevails over propaganda. Aside from that SBU trolls should invest in English lessons because their grammar is horrible. It makes my eyes bleed just reading them.
That is true, the UKI trolls from UK brigade 77 troll farms are very low quality scum and have done more hard to the Uki Nazis, just like hasbara alienates everyone. The Jew clown Zelensky is now really desperate as his ugly face shows. He is hiding in a 5 star hotel in Warsaw and pushing other people to die for his fantasies. Zelensky is the most cowardly gay scum so far.
When has Putin been in fresh air & outdoors?
A few days ago he was in glass box on some arena, LOL!
Zelensky is the toughest leader of modern era. Tough like Mannerheim.

You sound very bitter.
The Left (or in this case…the WEST) cannot Meeme. If Kindergarten post motivate Ukrainians and NATO to flock into Europe to get their Asses Kicked by Russian Warriors….more Power to you!
NATO’s track record is not based on Winning anyway. Our Propaganda campaign can make you believe you won when the smoke clears. We can also make the World believe we actually went to the Moon.
“We can also make the World believe we actually went to the Moon.”
A lot of pro-russians believe in FlatEarth and drink urine!
“FreeToThink” You re not Free Thinking. Parakeets do not create their own thoughts…they repeat what is being said. You are a victim of Propaganda. Stop wasting time posting here…get in line for your 3rd Booster and you will be fine.
You are so pathetic.
I do not need third booster, I had COVID already.
I was not recommending Booster to help you. I was reminding you because you seem to be an Idiot that does what the rest of the Sheep do. (Sheep and Parakeets have similarity)
I have capability to study matters (as an engineer) and I have free access to all/any information.
engineers cannot think–you are automaton, illiterate, feminized insecure
In George Orwell’s book 1984 he coined the term double talk. I’m wondering if the soviets perfected double think. Where they supply you with propaganda to make you think it’s not propaganda and everything else is propaganda because that’s what everyone else knows? And because you are not like anyone else you must have the correct information because Soros is a Jew and a rich Jew.
Only a British mind, as the former Brit intel agent George Orwell was trained to think with in terms of atrocities, could write a “novel’ that the British Tavistock Institute assigned to him and paid his way while he wrote “The Brain Washers Bible” for that institution.
And every ukraine supporter has at least been jabbed 3x against CONvid HOAX. Godd luck with that, just like Nadal’s heart attack 2 days ago
50% of you nazi morons in USA believe in ghosts; nearly 60% believe astrology is scientific—you dunces require emperor gates to install a senile hair sniffer in your military dictatorship lol
It is funny that Putin trolls only think RU vs USA.
There exist world in between and beyond them.
Some USA people do seem to be as brainwashed as elderly Russians, that explains why Trump was mistakenly elected.
But Americans at least have access to independent info, unlike poor Russians.
If Trump were still in office….we would not be having this conversation because Trump prevented War during his term. Too bad Election was Rigged with Dominion Counting Machines and Dead People Voting and many other tactics. Also WEAK and Corrupt Politicians. Normally Trump should still be in office.
And Trump’s Artemis Moon landing still in operation – being funded ( instead of war) for a 2024 setdown – the first President since Kennedy to go against the Empire for advanced tech in out of this world action with the start of industrializing the moon – returning the abundant Helium 3 fuel for Fusion Power reactors producing an overabundance of electricity that would suply electrify all of Africa and South America. I believe if we hold a picture in our mind of what we can accomplish for the future of all mankind, this border security will distinguish the difference between the British fascists preforming genocide and the American Revolutionaries that Sing Build, Bild Bild for the future – more people means more creativity to Build the ‘Right Stuff”.
Independent info lol? CNN, Fox, ABC news and other mainstream media outlets who are all connected to US intelligence services. The mainstream media in US is controlled by 6 mega-corporations. 50 years ago that number 50 companies. The Americans have a illusion of choice and objectivity in their corrupt media who has 1 duty only. That is to serve the US hegemony in the world
What you said must be the joke of the century.
Aljezera? And Indian news media controlled by the US aswell?

Cohen, Cohen.. a clear russian name. yesh. no wait, it’s a clear american name.. no, no wait.. it’s
Oh no, it’s again these “chosen guys” … but no that must be pure coincidence this time, for sure.
Russians should thank Ukrainians for teaching them what they actually are.
“Americans are 300 million used car salesmen…” hunter Thompson “from the inception o amerika it has been informed by ubiquitous sleaze and hustling”. Walter macdougal “the cult of sincerity—amerikants are not sincere—it is a performance”. David Riesman “in amerika the citizen has been transformed into a client, the worker into a consumer”. Christopher Lasch
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the founding grandfather of modern Russian fascism, died today in Moscow.
That would be so sad. (Not really.) When does Putin fall out from a window?
“in amerika dumbocracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge”. Isaac Asimov “in amerikanazistan stupidity is a precious natural resource”. Philip Slater “amerika is a culture of stupidity ” Arther Schlesinger jr “stupidity is a virtue in amerika”. Charles Pierce
Vladimir Zhirinovsky was a Radical. American Military Industrial Complex loved to show his clips to keep Americans in fear of “Russia invading Europe”. Fear and War is bisuness. Kinda like the Covid Fear Hoax!
Nice ! After Mrs. Albright, would be the next kosher criminal to die. No worry about them. Regardless if he indeed dead or alive…: Zhirinowsky, isn t that the jewish guy born Wladimir Wolfowitsch Eidelstein, who changed his name to Zhirinowsky, and then – like a snake – posed as “russian” ultra-nationalist, in order to throw a bad picture onto nationalists and national socialism ? Yes, I think so. It is also the guy who promoted the mRNA vaccination and posed proudly to be even 4th or 5th times “booster-vaccinated”. Yes, now he is dead (very likely). Who could have predicted that ? https://www.idolbirthdays.net/vladimir-zhirinovskiy
zhirinovsky not dead–moron US hillbillies liars uncivilized imbeciles
Useful hint:
Find a photo of a dead Russian soldier on social media. Upload it to facial recognition software. Get an identity match from a database of social media images. Identify the deceased’s family and friends. Show them what happened to the victim of Putin’s war.
Let RU population know what is happening!
Useful hint: dont believe ANYTHING ukronazi and CIA controlled FakeStream Media says. Remember CONVID HOAX & 100% safe & effective quackcines from the last 2 years?…
U stupi… smart enough to join Russian army, wanna join? We have toys!
U not above 65 I hope.
I’ve come across that there is a Serbian volunteer, who goes by the name Deki, that has been serving with the Donetsk People’s militia for years and posts regular videos. In his last video, he stated that Ukrainian combat losses were like 20 to 1 to what the Russians and DPR and LPR are taking. The Cabal’s Ukraine HQ can’t afford to lose control of the fake narrative cause they have way too much too lose and too many current powerful people stand to no be around much longer. In short, they’re acting like hunted animals whose very existence is at stake.
So, that’s why their PR dude is crying! LOL!
Attacker losses are 3x higher than on the defender side. Laws of war.
half wit hillbilly lost virginity when clefs raped u 12 years in arkansas prison—new lgbt therapy for you in san fagcisco
You saw my Schoigu, need to speak with him!?!
He was to organize my victory parade in Kiev!
Wow. As bizzare as the entire psyop, and the mechanics of its digital communications network, is (and the whole thing is, frankly), It bears remarkable similarity to the apparatus that tells the domestic population of the west that their elections actually exist (they don’t), that their money is actually real (it isn’t), that boys are actually girls (they aren’t), that girls are actually boys (they aren’t), that all those antifa riots were genuinely spontaneous (they weren’t), and that we are all naughty naughty horribly racist and evil white orcs for not being nicer to those poor and misunderstood city burners and/or girl/boys and boy/girls (we aren’t). Pretty inhuman stuff actually.

Mikhail Mizintev the white haired general faggot ordered to executr civilians at plain sight with thousands of witenessess escaping to tell the story. There’s not much propaganda to say. The Ukranian civilians themselves are decscribing what the Putin cockroaches are doing. And it’s just as bad as what the Nazi cockroaches were doing. We’re all waiting for Putin to put a gun in his mouth.
If Washington or NATO states use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine or in Taiwan then Putin and Xi will use nuclear weapons on Washington and NATO states. Russia and China are not Iraq or Syria to play game with them.
Only Putin-Assad coalition use chemical/biological weapons.
only fascist USA use anti-personel weapons–nazi in Alabama immoral moron “only in amerika is the father vestigial—the amerikant mind and conscience is feminine”. G Gorer
Now you changed de tone, when one of your two biggest weapons transport ship is down. Does that makes you angry and spread lies?
Russia will never win this war! You destroyed Afghanistan, in 80’s, it will not work with Ukraine! You are all doomed!
Idaho hillbilly lose to Taliban now to Russia—even Satan has forsaken you
Chernihiv is encircled and hundreds of people allegedly died in the Mariupol theatre according to Ukraine unverified propoganda.
Why was the children shelter bombed?
Those UKraine forces are paedos and they wanted to make the children slow and unable to run away.
why does nazi arkansas hillbilly comment at SF? “amerika requires a stupefied population”. Christopher Lasch
The welcome to hell poster is most accurate. I am looking at pictures from Mariupol and other cities and they look like hell, but I do not see how that helps Ukraine win the war. A better poster would be: ‘A lot of our cities are starting to look a little like hell, so it is time to negotiate.’
The Ukraine Intelligence Report today literally says nothing. I think those guys are busy securing safe passage to go and live with a UK MP. Apparently Ukraine troops plan to keep fighting near Kiev and maybe push towards Hostomel, and they are looking for a way around Mykolaiv, whatever that means. And that’s it. If I were a Ukraine soldier reading that I would consider defecting.
I’m beginning to think that the only place where ethic Russians are truly safe is Russia itself. If the Donbass Region wants to become part of Russia, so be it. Maybe it’s time mother Russia brought her children home. Russia is a huge country with resources that could support half a billion people. In the grand scheme of things, Putin wants everyone to leave Russia alone and let it happen.
US public relations firms were heavily employed, on retainer, by the Bosniak side in Bosnia-Herzegovina conflict in mid 1990’s. Presumably, this was at behest of US-NATO administrative advisers. A New York based US PR firm used a very contrived photo taken by British media-journalist and used their PR media network to push it all across US media. The photo was taken by British media-photographer, who was actually escorted well inside Bosnian-Serb territory, by the Bosnian-Serbforces, to visit a Bosnian-Serb refugee centre based at a school site. On that same day other media were also present and recorded their own contrasting video images to what the British contrived. The British photographer got a thin man to remove shirt and and stand in a chicken coup enclosure on the site, as if behind wire fence and as if in a prison. This was then later presented in western media as “the new holocaust” image, as it appeared on cover of TIME magazine. On exact same day a Belgrade TV crew were also escorted to same site, and did a news media report, it showed same refugees freely coming and going, and getting hot food at the the site controlled by Bosnian-Serb forces. The Bosnian-Serbs were quite naive, they escorted and allowed the British media into their territory, not realizing they would be so actively betrayed, nor the political power of media in the west, that could be politically harnessed against them. The Bosnian-Serbs were heavily vilified in west by US New York based PR firms, who painted them as super-villains, on behalf on their clients, the Bosniaks, supported by NATO.

UKRAINIAN WARTIME HUMOR: -Putin claims his war in Ukraine is actually a conflict between Russia and NATO. -So far, Russia has lost 15,000 men, 500 tanks, 6 generals, and more then 100 jets. -And NATO? They haven’t showed up yet.
arkansas hillbilly lost ability to think—1351 deaths you nazi liar ukraine no longer exists! LOL
Путин лжет россиянам, Путин лжет всему миру!
Such an article on SF does not appear for no reason. I hope people understand what to do. Target the Western organizations and individuals with emails, phone calls. Ask them if they understand what they are supporting in Ukraine. The PR Media clients, target them as well. Ask them if they are also on board with supporting Neo Nazis and War Criminals. Every day that goes by the stench of this regime in Ukraine gets stronger. Despite the effort by Western Media to try and block all reporting of their crimes, slowly little by little the truth is getting out.
I should also mention those with a talent in the Cyber Sphere need to go after the websites of those Western companies that support Ethnic Cleansing in Eastern Ukraine.
the main danger w propaganda is when you believe your own lies
