Never before has the world been exposed to so many blatant and cynical lies. Since the start of Russia’s invasion of my native Ukraine, Russian mass media has been pouring out tons of dirty fakes.
The picture that a gullible Russian citizen can get out of all that torrent of untruth is roughly as follows: Ukrainian neo-fascists have been tormenting their country’s Russian-speakers for years until the valiant Russian army decided to protect them from "genocide" and oppression by sending a limited contingent of its troops to Ukraine. Ukrainians, having lost control of their country, started shelling indiscriminately and razing to the ground their own towns and villages, with peaceful civilians in them. And so on.
No exaggeration here. Russia’s UN Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzya, was recorded claiming publicly at the UN Security Council on 7 March 2022 that Ukrainians must be “shelling themselves”!
So much did he immerse himself into the sticky bog...
