‼️putin’s attempts to speak to the world exclusively in the language of fear once again prove that only increased pressure can stop the aggressor.

over three years of war have undermined russia’s budget and economy, the fuel crisis shows how vulnerable russia is to strikes deep inside its territory, and advances on the frontline are possible only at the cost of enormous losses.

❗️The goal of putin’s propaganda performance is to create the illusion of russia’s invulnerability and invincibility. However, reality is very different:

✅ Moreover, with his joke about “not sending drones to Denmark anymore,” putin effectively admitted that it is indeed russian UAVs flying into Europe, despite moscow’s official denials.

At the same time, much of putin’s speech consisted of threats. He threatened to strike Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, to give “a very convincing response to the militarization of Europe,” and once again hinted at using the mythical “oreshnik” and russia’s most advanced nuclear weapons.

responsibility for prolonging the war in Ukraine lies with an “aggressive” Europe; the russian army is supposedly “relentlessly and confidently” advancing; the West allegedly uses Ukrainians as “expendable material,” and so on.

▫️putin once again repeated standard propaganda narratives: russia is allegedly peace-loving, but Europe’s elites spread “hysteria” about the russian threat;

⚡️The speech by russian dictator vladimir putin at the “Valdai” Club, amplified by ru-propaganda, became another attempt to intimidate the West.

Behind the rhetoric of “fighting colonialism,” russia is in fact reviving colonial practices, exploiting Africans as cheap labor and “cannon fodder” for its aggressive war against Ukraine.

In reality, they were forced to work in the production of military drones used by russia to attack Ukrainian cities.‼️ Such stories demonstrate the true nature of moscow’s policy toward Africa.

▫️ This is not the first case of russia exploiting Africans for its war purposes. Earlier, it was revealed that women from South Africa were being massively recruited for “work” in the “Alabuga” special economic zone.

The government of Kenya has already launched an official investigation into the possible sale of its citizens into slavery for the russian army.

❗️ Importantly, the information campaign against the Baltic States is unfolding simultaneously with the violation of Polish airspace by russian drones and the launch of the russian-belarusian military exercises “West-2025.”

▫️ In these publications, propaganda seeks to portray the Baltics as a “threat to russia,” a “NATO foothold,” and to justify the need for a “response to aggression,” effectively legitimizing possible escalation by russia.

These claims are based solely on unfounded assumptions, citing “local residents’ reports” and similar sources — without any confirmation or factual evidence.

🧵⚡️ russian propaganda has intensified threats and aggressive rhetoric against the Baltic States.

▫️ In particular, pro-kremlin resources publish so-called “expert opinions,” allegedly proving the involvement of the Baltic States in Ukrainian drone attacks on the territory of russia.

Conspiracy theories and vague, unsubstantiated speculations accompany the murder of the US right-wing political commentator Charlie Kirk.
