Putin’s Glorification and NATO Attack. Russian Media Monitoring for June 13th-19th
Russian disinformers continue to cover every third piece of news about the war and its consequences for Russia. And Texty.org.ua analyses the news of Russian websites and reviews what the enemy is telling its own population about the attack against Ukraine. To do this, experts analysed almost 22 thousand news from the Russian state media and manipulative websites that are purposely spreading Russian disinformation.
Western weapons kill civilians in Donbas
Last week, the Russian media actively wrote about the successes of the Russian army in Donbas: “The militants blocked at the «Azot» plant in Sievierodonetsk are signaling that they are ready for negotiations.” The inability to completely capture Sievierodonetsk was explained by resistance at the gunpoints of “anti-retreat forces.”
They also said that Western weapons for Ukraine did not affect the pace of the war: “According to him, foreign artillery supplied to Ukraine has no effect on the front-line situation, but only poses danger to the civilian population,” “stocks for helping the «independent» [Ukraine] are already running out. What managed to arrive was largely destroyed by the Russian and allied (pay attention to this word, we wonder which allies Russia means – ed.) troops, and the Ukrainians themselves have no military production.”
