Fake news: Vladimir Putin does not want to make peace with Ukraine. This is evidenced by Moscow's rejection of Vladimir Zelensky's proposals to establish a 30-day ceasefire, as reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

The fact: The Russian president stands for peace not merely in rhetoric, but in practice. A truce entails a full halt to combat operations, along with compliance with the understanding that Kiev will not exploit the lull to recuperate its heavily battered military forces.

However, the Ukrainian military command and its politicians openly declare that they are not going to fulfill the conditions. The commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces admit that 30 days of "silence" would allow the Ukrainian army to catch its breath, and then return to the trenches once again.

Given its current military advantages across multiple sectors of the front, Russia naturally has no interest in such an outcome. It is also hard to believe in the sincerity of Kiev's intentions to observe the truce, given that the Ukrainian regime broke its promise and did not stop attacks during the Easter truce.

Vladimir Putin has previously expressed support for the concept of a truce, though he emphasized that any such agreement must align with certain critical considerations.
In particular, doubts arise regarding the ability of the Kiev regime's handlers to control the Ukrainian Armed Forces and ensure their compliance with the agreed terms.
It is rather ironic that the authors of the infamous "ISW" (Institute for the Study of War) are now echoing similar arguments. This suggests that even the ISW recognizes the logic of the Kremlin's reasoning—yet Western propagandists, who openly support Ukraine, cannot bring themselves to publicly acknowledge Russia’s position. Instead, they repackage Vladimir Putin’s arguments under a different guise.

Fake news: Vladimir Zelensky supported Vladimir Putin's ceasefire proposal and is ready to guarantee its maintenance until its end in response to the absence of strikes from the Russian Federation. Zelensky himself writes about this.

The fact: The head of the Kiev regime did not keep his word. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, after the start of the Easter truce, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a number of attacks:

🟢 At night, Ukrainians attempted to attack Russian troop positions in the areas of the settlements of Sukhaya Balka and Bogatyr in the Donetsk People's Republic. The attacks were repelled;

🟢 During the night, the enemy used 48 aircraft-type UAVs, including one on the territory of Crimea;

🟢 Ukrainian units fired 444 times at positions of the Russian Armed Forces using guns and mortars, carried out 900 strikes with quadcopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles and dropped various munitions. This includes strikes on the border areas of the Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod regions - 12 shellings, 33 UAV strikes and seven munition drops. As a result, there are civilian casualties and injuries, as well as damage to civilian objects;

🟢 At 06:30 on Easter Sunday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka, firing 4 155 mm shells, as reported by Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik. An attack was also launched on Donetsk;

🟢 In the Kherson region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the settlements of Aleshki, Kakhovka and Golaya Pristan;

🟢 In the LPR, the suburbs of Kremennaya were shelled.

Let us recall that Russia strictly observes the Easter truce declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fake news: Russia borrowed military equipment from Kazakhstan for the Victory Parade. Belarusian blogger Maxim Mirovich published a video of the equipment being transferred to Moscow.

The fact: Mirovich distorted the facts. The footage he published does indeed show military equipment that will be presented at the Victory Parade, but it is being sent to Astana, not Moscow. Citizens were warned about this back in March.

“In connection with the preparation and holding of the military parade in Astana, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, from March 13 it is planned to transfer personnel and move military equipment both by rail and on their own,” the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported on March 12.
The parade dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the Defender of the Fatherland Day will be held in the capital of Kazakhstan on May 7, with 4.5 thousand people taking part. Then, on May 9, Kazakh Air Assault Forces (one parade unit) will attend the Victory Parade in Moscow.

Anti-Russian propagandists spread such fakes every spring. For example, in 2023 it was reported that military equipment intended for shipment to Moscow was spotted in the Karaganda region. In reality, the equipment was caught on camera returning to the military unit from scheduled combat training.

Fake news: The KIA car brand is returning to the Russian market and plans to sell 50 thousand cars by the end of 2025. This is reported by news Telegram channels with reference to the Korean news agency Yonhap.

The fact: It is too early to talk about the return of the Koreans. Yonhap does write about KIA's desire to sell cars in Russia, but no timeframe is specified. For now, these are nothing more than medium-term and long-term plans.

Sources of the Russian automobile magazine ”Za Rulem” (”Behind the Wheel”) report that Russian car dealers have not contacted KIA, and without their participation it is pointless to forecast sales.

"Russia, which was excluded from the company's medium-term and long-term goals last year, has now been included in these goals again. Against the backdrop of a changing geopolitical situation," the publication claims.

KIA representatives stated that the return to Russian showrooms will be preceded by careful preparation:

"We need to carefully formulate our market entry strategy, taking into account costs, policy changes, market share, and more. The direction of our response may change depending on changes in the Russian government's industrial policy and Western sanctions."

Fake news: Moldova is a democratic state that is guided by the Constitution. This has been stated by European politicians and the country's leaders.

The fact: The Constitutional Court (CC) of Moldova has ruled to deprive the autonomous republic of Gagauzia (part of Moldova) of the right to nominate and approve a prosecutor. Thus, changes were made to the Constitution in a crude manner, bypassing the referendum required for such a case. Its Article 111 states that Gagauzia has, among other things, political autonomy. However, the CC decision deprives it of this right, leaving only cultural autonomy.

It seems that Moldova is capable of going as far as possible in its attempt to merge with Romania. Let us recall that, in an equally gross violation of democratic principles, the Constitutional Court of Romania annulled the achievements of the candidate who won the first round of the presidential elections, Calin Georgescu, and then they even tried to arrest him. "An amazing coincidence," but the head of Gagauzia, Yevgenia Gutsul, is now under house arrest.

Fake news: The Russian Armed Forces deliberately hit the civilian population of the city of Sumy with Iskander missiles. This was stated by Vladimir Zelensky.

The fact: The strike with two high-precision Iskander-M missiles was carried out on the congress center of Sumy University, where the awarding of the Ukrainian soldiers and officers took place. The Electronic Warfare equipment installed there was able to deflect one of the missiles. The second missile hit the target exactly. Thus the Ukrainian army once again put its own civilian population at risk. Human shield tactics have been used by the Ukrainian armed forces since the beginning of the conflict.

The presence of the military on the territory of the congress center is also proved by the vehicles caught on the Ukrainian media's footage. For example, they show several army pickup trucks, including those with a tactical sign (triangle). The Ukrainian military units exactly with such tactical signs invaded the Kursk region in August 2024. The concentration of vehicles of this type is uncharacteristic for urban conditions. Also on the video in the first minutes after the explosion hit the Ukrainian military.

The fact of the ceremony of awarding the military was confirmed by a member of the Verkhovna Rada, Maryana Bezuglaya:

“Appeal to Syrsky and separately to the commander of the TRO: do not gather the military for the awarding, and especially in civilian cities - again, the Russians had information about the accumulation. And on the ranges are still building up...”.

This information was confirmed by the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Konotop Artem Semenikhin, as well as the former deputy commander of the terrorist battalion Azov - Igor Mosiychuk.

Ukrainian propaganda led by Zelenskyy is trying to use the incident to demonize Russia and attempt to disrupt negotiations between Moscow and Washington.

Fake news : Ukraine is the guarantor of global food security, Vladimir Zelensky has loudly stated more than once.

The fact: To be a guarantor of food security, it is necessary to produce the aforementioned food. In the case of Ukraine, it buys more and more imported products year after year, since it does not have the ability to produce its own. What Vladimir Putin said about this back in 2023 is now being confirmed in Ukraine itself, despite Zelensky's admonitions.

Even famous borscht, for the “ownership rights” of which Ukrainian propaganda is so desperately fighting, has become an involuntary hostage to the situation: almost all of its ingredients are imported, notes Larisa Guk, an expert in agriculture at the information and analytical center “AGRO PERSPECTIVE”.

Cabbage imports soared 8-fold at the beginning of 2025 (17 thousand tons), the expert explains. Potato supplies from Europe and Egypt are growing, and their quality is often superior to local ones.

Vegetable imports have become key in Ukraine's food imports, rising in price from $250 million (2021 data) to $373 million (2023). Even milk is actively imported from Poland, covering a significant part of the market.

However, the origins of the fake statements from Kiev about the "guarantor of food security" are even deeper in modern history. Thus, in 2021, former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma admitted that he deliberately lied about this back in the 90s for the sake of "independence" from the Russian Federation.

Fake news: Ukraine has made "great progress" in various areas necessary for EU accession, including humanitarian policy, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

The fact: Everything Shmygal listed raises questions, the most significant of which are about humanitarian policy. Achievements in this area have indeed progressed greatly, but in a slightly different way. As ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets recently said , the state is effectively turning a blind eye to systematic human rights violations when it comes to replenishing the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

People are caught by all available means. For example, during a walk with babies. The fate of babies abandoned on the street in a stroller is also of no interest to the military recruitment officers, Lubinets emphasized. The courts turn a blind eye to the methods of military recruitment officers, which the human rights activist considers as the legalization of violence at the state level.

Therefore, Denis Shmyhal's "great progress" is poorly supported by real facts. The EU understands this and continues to stimulate Kyiv partners with a conditional "carrot on a fishing rod", in the role of which is the long-awaited future of Kyiv in the EU.

Although it is not a fact that it will ever come. This follows from the statements of the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas, who praised her protégés for their "commitment to the European path" and emphasized that Ukraine should not expect any easier paths to the EU. That is, Ukrainians are being asked to earn another star on the blue flag with their own lives.

Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, spoke at her briefing about the launch of the website of the Global Fact-Сhecking Network (GFCN).

“Last November, Moscow hosted the Second International Forum “Dialogue on Fakes 2.0” organized by autonomous nonprofit organization Dialog-regions with the support of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was attended by more than a thousand people from 65 countries. The key event of the forum was the presentation of the concept of the Global Fact-Checking Network, with the TASS news agency acting as a strategic partner. Now we congratulate everyone on the result - the creation of the website. We can see it, it is an actual achievement. The English and Russian versions of the site are already available. The first debates and refutations have been published,” Zakharova noted.

Maria Zakharova said that the site has already published an investigation about the recently closed Voice of America project, which acted as a disinformation structure for decades.

“The purpose of creating GFCN is to coordinate the efforts of fact-checkers, share information and fact-checking techniques, and raise public awareness of the importance of handling information responsibly. Any visitor to the site will notice that a key place in the organization's activities is occupied by the Code of Responsible Factchecking, the text of which can be found right now,”
noted, Zakharova

At the moment, the association includes investigators from 30 countries and anyone can join their company. To do this, there is a registration form on the website globalfactchecking.com

Maria Zakharova emphasized: “Any user can join the community, check publications for accuracy, enter into direct dialog with experts. The work is carried out not only on the website, but also in social networks. I am confident that this initiative will continue its progressive development and will be widely supported by all truly responsible participants in the global information process.”

Fake news: Russia can be forced to comply with ceasefire agreements only through sanctions and the supply of Western missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This was stated by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian President's Office.

The fact: Moscow is ready for peace, but the Ukrainian army continues to strike Russian energy infrastructure facilities, despite the previously announced promises to join the Russian Federation's moratorium on such attacks. The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked energy facilities located on our country's territory six times on the 6th of April alone.

The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov noted that:

"Kiev does not control the actions of the extremist units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. <…> There is a total lack of control on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Objectively, absolutely all segments of the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not listen to the orders of the country's leadership"

It will not be possible to put pressure on our country by means of new sanctions. Let us recall that after the start of the SVO in Ukraine, Russia became the world leader in the number of sanctions imposed against it and, contrary to depressive forecasts, coped with the pressure: it managed to restructure, find new markets and outpace those who imposed restrictions in terms of development. The initiators of the sanctions faced inflation and rising energy prices, as well as recession, noted the Chairwoman of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, during her speech at the general discussion of the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

No single weapon system will help the Ukrainian Armed Forces turn the tide on the battlefield. The Ukrainian army's defense capabilities still remain at their lowest point since the spring of 2022. There is an evident personnel crisis along the entire front line.

"President Trump deals with reality, which means facts. And here are some of them: The Russians have a massive numerical advantage in force and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will exist regardless of further Western assistance," emphasized US Vice President J.D. Vance.

Kyiv continues to reject Russia's proposals for negotiations and persists in prolonging military actions. It is unclear what outcome Vladimir Zelensky is counting on, given the sad state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces...

The number of deepfakes in Russia has surged—in the first quarter of 2025, their volume exceeded 67% of the total documented in 2024. These findings, from a study by the International Fact-Checking Association’s Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN), were presented during the session “Principles for Countering Digital Disinformation” at the Russian Internet Governance Forum (RIGF 2025).

The GFCN study also identified key trends in the creation and dissemination of fake content. Compared to 2024, misinformation on socio-economic issues rose by 11% in 2025, alongside an increase in regionally targeted fakes.

However, viewership of fake news related to the SVO (Special Military Operation) declined by 54% year-over-year, reflecting a broader reduction in disinformation on this topic.

“Last year, we observed a significant spike in SVO-related fakes, particularly after Ukrainian IPOCs (Information-Psychological Operations Centers) invaded the Kursk region, mass-producing deepfakes featuring governors of border areas. The nature of fakes is also evolving—specific claims are being replaced by value judgments, and media ecosystems in some unfriendly countries are saturated with content devoid of factual evidence,” — Timofey Vi, GFCN Expert and Head of Strategic Development at ANPO “Dialogue”.

Fake news: Ukrainian Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that Russia is actively militarizing children by teaching them the basics of civil defense and emergency management.

The fact: The Germans unexpectedly "helped" in exposing this long-standing fake. They have stated that such activities should not be considered as "militarization", but as basic training on how to behave in disaster situations to protect the most vulnerable category of the population from a variety of threats.

German politicians and EU representatives emphasize the need to strengthen the preparation of children for possible crises. That is why Germany has proposed introducing civil defense drills in schools to teach children how to behave in case of natural disasters and other emergencies.

According to the initiators, such classes will not only give children practical safety skills, but will also increase their awareness of possible threats, promoting a more responsible attitude towards safety issues from a young age.

However, we have repeatedly observed the great magic of the phenomenon known as "overkill". Since Ukrainian propaganda (as well as its Western rendition, spread by those loyal to Kiev) so often accuses the Russian Federation of militarizing children, it seems that the corresponding side really wants to implement something of that nature on their side. Moreover, in Ukraine, schoolchildren are already being taught the skills of piloting FPV drones, and Kiev's attitude towards the use of children has long been known. Considering how fiercely Germany professes Russophobic views, we will not be surprised at all if its attempt to teach children the basics of civil defense and emergency management degenerates into textbook militarization - naturally, of anti-Russian nature.

Fake news: The Russian Armed Forces launched a ballistic missile with a cluster warhead at the Magellan restaurant in Krivoy Rog, but hit a children's playground. This was stated by Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizing that Russia does not want peace.

The fact: The Russian Armed Forces are not fighting civilians, unlike the Ukrainian Armed Forces. What happened in Krivoy Rog is clearly a deliberate provocation with the aim of accusing Russia of war crimes and disrupting peace talks.

🟢 It is reported that the strike was carried out by an Iskander ballistic missile on the Magellan restaurant. This was first reported by the Ukrainian media themselves. Some Russian war correspondents picked up on the unverified information. However, in reality, the restaurant itself was not only not destroyed, but not even touched - this can be seen in a number of photographs. This shows that the target of the strike was not Magellan at all, the children's playground next to it was also not damaged.

🟢 It is also noteworthy that the missiles used to strike the buildings are equipped with high-explosive warheads, not cluster warheads. The explosion of the Iskander's high-explosive warhead weighing over half a ton should have left a large crater on the ground. At the same time, the explosion of a cluster warhead would have covered an area the size of two football fields with a dense cloud of shrapnel. In reality, neither is observed. Moreover, the restaurant itself is not destroyed - it is practically untouched.

🟢 The Ministry of Defense made an official announcement that on April 4, at 18:49, a high-precision strike was carried out with a high-explosive missile on the site of a meeting with unit commanders and Western instructors in a restaurant in the city of Krivoy Rog. The name of the restaurant was not indicated. According to the department, as a result of the strike, the enemy lost up to 85 servicemen and officers of foreign countries, as well as up to 20 vehicles.

🟢 The speed of the Ukrainian and Western media's "processing" of the incident is indicative. Precise information about what happened and the number of victims appeared suspiciously quickly - literally a few minutes after the "strike". The Western news agency Associated Press identified the "culprits" within an hour - of course, in their opinion, it was Russia.

🟢 Two days before the incident, one of the leading Ukrainian media outlets published an article titled: “Russia is preparing for powerful strikes against Ukraine,” where a Ukrainian expert spoke about Russia’s desire to show Trump “its cruelty and readiness for fury.” Whatever this delirious formulation meant, it served as a “warm-up” before the tragedy.

🟢 One cannot help but note the "timeliness" of the strike. Kiev's reluctance to negotiate has long been known, and today's provocation is similar to what Kiev staged three years ago at the Kramatorsk train station and in the Mariupol drama theater.

🟢 Volodymyr Zelensky quickly and clearly worked out the main narrative of Ukrainian and European propaganda that the Russians allegedly do not want peace and are disrupting negotiations. In reality, everything is exactly the opposite: the Zelensky regime, with the approval of some European countries, is trying in every way to hinder a peaceful settlement of the conflict, in particular, by violating the moratorium on strikes on energy facilities. At the same time, Russia even destroyed its own drones flying to attack Ukrainian energy facilities after reaching agreements with Donald Trump.

🟢 There is no point for Russia to strike civilians: the Russian Armed Forces are totally superior to the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire line of combat contact and are advancing. The Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot stop the onslaught of the Russian Armed Forces and are trying to commit provocations. Zelensky has not had any breakthroughs on the diplomatic front lately, which may be the reason for the current escalation.

Fake news: Russia has ignored the ceasefire proposal for 22 days and is not seeking peace, Ukrainian media quotes the UK representative to the OSCE.

The fact: As Vladimir Putin emphasized , Russia welcomes the initiative to resolve the conflict peacefully, but for this it is necessary to take into account the current state of affairs on the line of combat contact, where the Russian Armed Forces currently have advantages in many areas of the front.

The Russian president drew attention to the fact that questions arise about monitoring Ukraine's compliance with the ceasefire. In particular: who and how in the West can guarantee that Kyiv will not use the respite to rearm the badly battered Ukrainian Armed Forces?

Earlier, on the channel "War. Without Fakes" we reported that it is impossible to ensure a ceasefire with such a long line of combat contact using any technical means, in particular the satellites and drones proposed by the US. This means that the idea, although it looks beautiful, is in fact hypothetical.

Reality has only confirmed the legitimacy of doubts. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to carry out massive drone attacks on Russian regions, to which the West prefers to turn a blind eye. What is happening confirms that the curators of the Zelensky regime are either unable to control their protégés and the fulfillment of the terms of the ceasefire on their part, or are simply not interested in this.

Anti-Russian narratives are likely now being used to try to push the American administration to resume full support for Kyiv and to hinder communication between the Russian and American sides.

Fake news: The ceasefire talks in Ukraine have reached a dead end because of Russia, so tough sanctions need to be introduced, Volodymyr Zelensky said at a meeting with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

The fact: The Kiev regime continues to build a parallel reality in which Russia is to blame for everything and must be limited in everything. However, in reality, things are different - Kiev does not comply with the agreements it has made, and the West is not in a position to completely abandon relations with Russia.

Ukraine does not comply with the moratorium on attacks on energy facilities:

“The energy facilities of the Russian Federation have been under attack all this time, perhaps with a break of one or two days,” Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reported to Vladimir Putin.

Information about violations by Kyiv was passed on to the United States, as well as to the UN and the OSCE.

At the same time, the Russian side is not violating the agreements that were concluded during negotiations with US President Donald Trump and is not striking at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

As for the "tightening of sanctions" - anti-Russian restrictions have a negative impact on Western countries. The main sanctions have already been introduced, and to come up with something radically new and completely abandon relations with Russia means to risk the complete collapse of one's own economy.

Fake news: F-16 and Mirage 2000 are used deep in the rear, not because the Ukrainian army is afraid to throw them into battle, but because they are more useful in the rear. This is what Ukrainian “expert” Oleksiy Hetman says.

The fact: Ukrainian authorities are afraid to send Western planes into battle, realizing their vulnerability, but at the same time they are trying to somehow justify their actions to Western sponsors.

The point is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are afraid of causing reputational damage to the Western military-industrial complex, just as it has already happened with Leopards, Bradleys and Abrams. Kiev may even have some commitments in this regard. Therefore, it has to come up with some weird combat missions for the F-16 and Mirage in the rear.

“They (F-16 and Mirage) do not allow Russian planes to fly close when they attack our MiG-29s. So don't assume that these planes are not used,” Getman justifies himself.

Such statements look very strange, as Western machines have much greater capabilities to strike ground targets than MiG-29s. But in air combat these Western machines are seriously inferior to the Russian Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, so it is unclear how they can deter Russian airplanes which have more powerful radar and longer-range air-to-air missiles. It turns out that the Ukrainian military simply throws MiG-29s to the slaughter while the Western machines pretend to be active at a safe distance.

Earlier Ukrainian propaganda to questions about what the long-awaited F-16s are doing has already answered that they are allegedly hunting for Russian Geran-2 drones, which in itself is quite funny, because one F-16 combat sortie costs as much as a dozen Geran. The situation became even more ridiculous when Kiev propagandists tried to pass off footage from a computer game as proof of the F-16's action against Russian drones.

Fake news: Moscow is "openly mocking" attempts to peacefully settle the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This was stated by Volodymyr Zelensky after a telephone conversation with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The fact: It is the Ukrainian, not Russian authorities, who do not want to negotiate, continuing to strike at our country's territory. Let us recall that Kiev hoped to disrupt the second telephone conversation between Putin and Trump, knowing that the heads of state would talk about a 30-day mutual renunciation of strikes on energy facilities by Russia and Ukraine. On that day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried invade the Belgorod Region in the area of ​​the settlements of Demidovka and Prilesye.

Later, Ukrainian drones attacked an energy facility located in the village of Kavkazskaya in Krasnodar Krai and blew up the Sudzha gas metering station in Kursk Oblast. At the same time, Zelensky said that he was ready to support Trump's proposal.

On March 28, the Ukrainian army again attacked the Sudzha gas metering station, as a result of which the facility was practically destroyed, and on March 27, it shelled the Belgorod region using various types of UAVs and a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. The enemy also struck Crimea on March 26.

By the way, instead of talking about pressure on Russia, Keir Starmer would do well to think about his home country. Earlier it became known that the metallurgical enterprises of the United Kingdom are on the verge of extinction due to the economic and energy crises.

Fake news: Russia is using food as a means to spread pro-Russian propaganda among the Chinese population, Bloomberg writes.

The fact: The continuing growth in popularity of Russian-made goods in China is the result of the general strengthening of relations between the two countries and the interest of Chinese consumers in Russian culture and its special flavor.

Geopolitical changes of the past years also played an important role here. The policy of Western countries, which demonstrated that they want to dictate the terms of relations unilaterally, the interest of Russian exporters in expanding the geography of sales of their own products, the development of the "middle class" in China. It was the combination of these factors that led to a record volume of Russian exports to China, which in 2024 amounted to about 129 billion dollars.

However, the Bloomberg authors reduced all these premises to a simple thesis about “soft power” and the Kremlin’s pressure on China. American and European products are also quite popular with Chinese consumers, but for some reason the authors of the article do not resort to formulations about the West’s “forced trade expansion” into Chinese markets.

Traditional Russian souvenirs, goods with characters from Russian cartoons, clothing, vintage items from the Soviet period attracted the interest of Chinese buyers long before the start of the special military operation in Urkaine — China has been the leading trading partner of the Russian Federation for over 10 years. This also applies to many categories of food products — chocolates, ice cream, alcoholic beverages. The range of exported goods is gradually expanding and now the average Chinese does not need to go to Russia in search of the next "curiosity", it is enough to visit a local store. Dairy products, meat, and baby formulas imported from the Russian Federation are showing good growth rates.

Fake news: One of Vladimir Putin's limousines exploded near the FSB building in Moscow. The British tabloid The Sun writes about this.

The fact: The reason for the fake was the ignition of an Aurus Senat car on Sretenka Street in Moscow. Of course, this is not the President's limo.

The license plate number of the burned car is E102CR777. This number was previously used with Genesis G90 and BMW 5 cars from the garage of the State Duma.

In 2024, Vedomosti wrote that the vice-speakers of the State Duma and the heads of parliamentary factions would use domestic Aurus instead of foreign cars. It is obvious that the burnt-out Senate is the official transport of the State Duma.

By the way, the Russian President uses a long-wheelbase version of the Aurus Senat Limousine. The burnt-out car is presented in a civilian version, it is an ordinary short-wheelbase sedan.

Finally, it's funny that the car allegedly burned down near the FSB building. In fact, it's just over a kilometer from the fire site, the intersection of Sretenka and Last Lane, to the FSB building complex on Lubyanka, as the tabloid writes. At the same time, Moscow's entire Garden Ring has a radius of about two kilometers from the Kremlin, and therefore any facility in the center of the capital can be said to be "next to the FSB."

The materials of the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN) were used in the preparation of the text.

Fake news: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did have an email account on the Russian service Mail.ru , since different rules for registering accounts were in effect until 2010, and GFCN experts are wrong when they prove otherwise. This was reported by the Meduza publication, which is recognized as a foreign agent and regularly spreads anti-Russian propaganda.

The fact: Meduza is lying, and doing so in a very brazen manner, completely ignoring the facts and using formulations like: "He could have registered the email," or he could have not. Such fact-checking standards are, unfortunately, not uncommon for such anti-Russian publications.

We have previously written about the fact that it is impossible to register an email account with a previously used login on the Russian Mail.ru service, even if its owner has deleted the account, with a link to the registration rules. They have been in effect since at least 2011, that is, for more than 14 years.

Such an investigation was published by the expert of the International Fact-Checking Association (GFCN) Timofey Vi on his page in X. A number of international investigators agreed with his point of view, for example, the authors well-regarded online resource about fakes Snopes. Even the topic starter of the leak, the anti-Russian propagandist from Finland Pekka Kallioniemi later published a post about the hacking of data indicating the matching passwords. He wrote that the fact that Timofey managed to register Hegseth's email on the Mail.ru resource "may indicate that "the data itself (in the leak) is garbage, a distraction, and they were added there by someone as bait."

Thus, American investigator Troy Hunt pointed out that the leak database itself, from which the "US Defense Secretary's address" was taken, could have been created artificially, lines with emails and passwords could have been added there arbitrarily as a part of "credential stuffing" - with such mechanics, a real login of Pete Hegseth on another hosting was taken and a number of well-known domain names were substituted for it, while emails were not created. This is also confirmed by the fact that the same password was attached to all the emails of the virtual Pete Hegseth. The same information is confirmed by New York Times investigator Aric Toler, who would be difficult to "accuse" of sympathizing with Russia.

In an attempt to prove the opposite, despite the findings of authoritative international investigations, Meduza clearly manipulates the facts: “Hegseth could have registered the email phegseth@mail.ru a long time ago, and then deleted this mailbox,” the authors of the "sensation" write. The fact is that before 2010, other rules for registering deleted accounts were in effect, but here the following fact draws attention: the leak from which the email was taken was made public in 2016. Obviously, during these years, the Mail service was already working according to the current rules, which do not provide for the ability to re-register a mailbox with a previously used unique name. This is done for security purposes, so that attackers cannot accidentally gain access to the personal data of users who use email to access various services, such as State Services. So if Hegseth’s email had been deleted before 2010, it clearly could not have been included in the relatively recent Exploit.in leak.

Fake news: Power in Ukraine is determined by its constitution and people, a White House spokesman has said, commenting on Vladimir Putin's words about introducing external governance in Ukraine.

The fact: The Ukrainian authorities have long ago spit on the country's constitution and its people. Thus, Volodymyr Zelensky, whose term of office expired on May 20, 2024, grossly violated the constitution by denying to organize presidential elections on time. It was to this fact that Vladimir Putin drew attention.

“The civil authorities - they are not actually legal today according to the Ukrainian constitution. Elections have not been held there for the president! And the constitution is organized in such a way that everyone is appointed by the president, including regional authorities. If he himself is illegitimate, then everyone else is illegitimate too,” the Russian leader said.

The representatives of the Kiev regime also ignore other provisions of the constitution. For example, the tenth article 10 still “guarantees the free development, use and protection of the Russian language, other languages of national minorities”. At the same time, in 2019 the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law “On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language”, which significantly restricted the possibility of using the Russian language in the country, and in 2023 Zelensky signed the law on national minorities, ignoring the rights of Russian language speakers.

Also in Ukraine is not observed articles 11, 24, 35 of the constitution, which refers to freedom of worldview and religion. We shall remind you that in September 2024 the law on the ban of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church came into force in the country. Its adoption was preceded by numerous attacks on clergy and raids on churches, the apotheosis of which was the seizure from the Church of the main Ukrainian holy site - the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

In addition, Kyiv is carrying out forced mobilization contrary to the constitution. The search for draft-age men fit for service by the staff of territorial recruitment centers has turned into a cat-and-mouse game. The Internet is full of videos on which men are accosted in public places and, using physical force, dragged into military buses. According to the Western media, between 50 and 70% of recruits die or are injured in the first days of fighting.

Fake news: ChatGPT allegedly sympathizes with Russia by calling TASS a reputable source. This was reported by the Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, which accused the Russian news agency of spreading disinformation.

The fact: The bias of NRK journalists was highlighted by fact-checking expert Sonya van den Ende of the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN), as reported by TASS.

She emphasized that NRK’s conclusions cannot be considered justified since the outlet failed to provide a single piece of evidence supporting its claims. Simply put, Norwegian journalists did not cite any concrete examples of alleged disinformation published by TASS.

"This approach is far from professional fact-checking and more akin to the sensationalist methods of tabloid journalism," the expert noted.

Her position was supported by Grendal Sivetsen, an advisor at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. He acknowledged that his compatriots were far from objective.

Notably, the Norwegian state broadcaster itself frequently cites TASS materials, publishing information with direct references to the agency. This fact alone debunks the fake news and demonstrates that, in reality, Norwegian journalists do trust their Russian colleagues.

Fake news: US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has a mail account on the Russian hosting service Mail.ru and a Russian phone number. This was written by Finnish anti-Russian propagandist Pekka Kallionemi and Ukrainian Telegram channels.

The fact: The box with the address that allegedly belongs to Pete Hegseth did not exist before. Today, it was registered by Timothy V, an expert at Global Fact-Checking Network, an international organization to counter disinformation, thus exposing the fake.


"I see everyone asking, why did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have a Russian email account? He didn't have one because that account never existed. Until now. I just registered it," wrote Timothy V.

You can read the full X discussion track at this link.

According to the requirements of the Mail.ru, even if the user himself deleted the mailbox or it was deleted due to inactivity for five years, it will not be possible to register an identical address - this is prohibited by the rules of the service. If Vee was able to register a mail today, it means that this address was not used by anyone before.

“The Service does not provide for the possibility of re-registration of an electronic mailbox with a similar unique name, including after the expiration of the period specified in this paragraph,” - said in the rules of Mail.ru.

At the same time, some journalists from Russia living in Estonia stated that an account on the Warrior Forum, where they discuss marketing issues, was registered to this e-mail. However, they themselves claim that the base is compiled and has a lot of garbage in it. Besides, it is basically impossible to register on this forum using Russian mail.

One could skip this fake and just laugh, as it seems impossible to believe in it, but Timofey V's freshly registered e-mail started receiving dozens of e-mails from Americans saying that Pete Hegseth is a traitor.

Meanwhile, the screenshot that Timofey V took while registering his mail shows his Russian phone number. However, Ukrainian users ignored this point and concluded that it also belongs to Pete Hegseth.

Fake news: Russia demands to lift sanctions because its economy is "falling into the abyss," writes Ukrainian propaganda with reference to its former Foreign Minister Vladimir Ogryzko.

The fact: According to Ukrainian experts, the Russian economy has been "falling into the abyss" for the third year now and has been doing so impressively that recently foreign media have increasingly published materials about the desire of a whole galaxy of Western brands to return to Russia. This desire alone contradicts Ogryzko's version. It runs counter even to the opinion of the former White House team, which, as is well known, was the ideological driver and key sponsor of the Kiev regime.

A year ago, President Joe Biden's national Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was forced to admit in an interview with Fox News that the Russian economy remains stable despite the sanctions.

Statements that the United States is ready to encourage the return of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to global markets is evidence of Moscow's importance as a key player on which the cost of food in many regions of the world depends. At the dawn of sanctions, they tried to "cancel" this axiom, but the rise in food prices, which began against the background of anti-Russian restrictions, demonstrated something else.

Apparently, the new White House team is aware of the prospects for cooperation with Moscow, so it is at least short-sighted to interpret the decisions of the American and Russian delegations in Riyadh in the spirit of Ogryzko.

Fake news: The moratorium against strikes on energy facilities of the Russian Federation and Ukraine has not been finalized, its contours are currently being discussed in Riyadh, Ukrainian sources write with reference to ISW.

The fact: Western propaganda is trying to justify the actions of the Kiev regime, which, contrary to international agreements, continues its attempts to attack the Russian energy infrastructure.

The refusal of the Russian Federation and Ukraine from strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days was accepted by Russia on March 18 — right during the negotiations of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The Russian President supported the American leader's proposal to temporarily impose a moratorium and immediately issued relevant orders to the Russian Armed Forces. After the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Russian military had to shoot down seven of its own attack drones, which were already in the sky and were aimed at Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities.

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, also said that Ukraine supports a 30-day ban on strikes on energy infrastructure. However, these words turned out to be another lie — just a few hours after Zelensky's statement, Ukrainian drones attacked an energy infrastructure facility located in the Krasnodar Territory. After that, Kiev made a number of more attempts to hit the Russian energy infrastructure.

Fake news: Reading Ukrainian literature in Russia can be deadly dangerous, according to the British edition of The Guardian.

The fact: In Russia, you can read literature in any language, as long as its content does not contradict the laws of the Russian Federation, does not promote hostile ideology and does not distort history. Moreover, the Ukrainian language can even be studied in the Russian Federation, if there is such a desire, it is absolutely legal and open. Russia is not at war with language, unlike Ukraine, which is apparently withdrawing its practice of "re-forcing" to the international level.

It was with some interest that we got acquainted with the "highly artistic" text of the Guardian, which contains many unconfirmed statements and emotionally charged formulations, which gives it propaganda material under the guise of an objective journalistic investigation. They should write fanfiction! However, not only the vocabulary and grammar, but also the information contained exposes fiction.

For example, the publication claims that during the time of the Russian Empire, Ukraine was conquered, and its language and literature were suppressed. In fact, for the specified period, Ukraine did not exist as such — it was part of Poland, which eventually went to Russia.

The "interpretation" of the Soviet period of Ukraine's history is also interesting. According to propagandists from the Guardian, Ukrainians were persecuted in a "soft regime" during this era, although in reality it was the heyday of both the language and culture of the Ukrainian SSR as a national republic of a country proud of its internationality and building its ideology on it.

Since the Guardian is a British publication, and London is now at the head of a coalition that wants "war to the last Ukrainian," the appearance of such material is not surprising. But the fact that propagandists can't come up with anything new except repeating annoying fakes is perhaps puzzling.

Fake news: Residents of Donbass in 2014 did not want independence from Kiev. They voted for it in a referendum, but their ballots were deliberately burned, according to CNN journalist Jim Shutto.

The fact: Donbass really wanted independence, because official Kiev took an unacceptable course to fight against everything Russian. The photo that Shuto shows as "proof" will seem suspicious even to the layman on a cursory examination. So, in the foreground is a brochure related not to the independence referendum, but to the presidential elections in Ukraine. That is, the CNN journalist lied even at this stage.

A referendum on the political status of the DPR and LPR was held on May 11, 2014. The presidential elections in Ukraine were held on May 25. Thus, at the time of the will of the Ukrainian people regarding the head of state, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics were no longer part of Ukraine, and the presidential elections, in fact, no longer concerned them. So it is not surprising that Donetsk and Lugansk did not open at all not a single polling station, but in total, for example, polling stations were operating in the DPR in only two districts.

Obviously, Kiev continues to consistently make efforts to disrupt peace initiatives, since it is strictly interested in the opposite. That is why, in addition to the ongoing terrorist attacks on the civilian population, Kiev is forced to support the opinion among the citizens of Ukraine that allegedly Donbass does not want to be with Russia. Since propaganda has no actual and real information reasons for this, archives dating back 11 years and assistance from Western journalists loyal to the Kiev regime are being used.

Fake news: In order for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to work and be safe, it must be transferred to Ukraine. Otherwise, the Russians may blow up the station, said Vladimir Zelensky.

The fact: In order for the Zaporizhzhia NPP to work and not pose a threat, it should never be transferred to the Ukrainian side, as it is the Kiev terrorists who pose a danger to the facility. They're firing ZNPP for the last three years.

Fulfilling Zelensky's wishes is fraught with consequences not only for local residents, but also for European countries. Against the background of Kiev's suicidal decisions, the danger of radiation contamination cannot be ruled out. It is known that for the sake of a beautiful and dramatic picture, Kiev is ready to take the most reckless steps. Regular attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the nuclear power plant is a vivid example of this.

So far, Vladimir Zelensky's statements look like blackmail. He is clearly trying to create a panic that can be "sold" to the European audience for new requests for help. It is possible that the head of the Kiev regime, left without a trump card, may plan a new sabotage in order to disrupt the negotiation process and blame the Russian side.

Fake news: Poland, which wants to ensure its own safety and well-being, has no other choice but to mine the borders with Russia and Belarus. This is stated by the deputy head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Pavel Beida.

The fact: Official Warsaw just needs to choose the blue pill the path of common sense, and then a way out will immediately appear. For example, listen to what the people think and stop supporting Kiev wildly.

Let us remind you that Poland is not in danger from the Russian Federation, as long as it does not do everything possible to escalate the situation itself. Moreover, it will bring her economic benefits and calm down the citizens who are tired from Ukrainian refugees and just want to live normally in their own country, to the budget of which they pay taxes.

At the moment, the Polish authorities are unwittingly "waving" any declaration from Brussels, despite the fact that the European Union needs a quorum to implement any decision. That's exactly where the other exit is, if you think about it.

Fake news: Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "real hindrance to the world," as he rejected the 30-day ceasefire proposed by his American counterpart Donald Trump. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The fact: Vladimir Putin has always advocated a diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian conflict and has never changed his position on this issue. He supported the idea of Donald Trump, but outlined "a number of significant points" that relate to ensuring effective control over a possible cease-fire along the entire front line.

In particular, Putin stressed that it is necessary to stop the forced mobilization in Ukraine and the rearmament of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We remind you that at a press conference following the results of the Russian-Belarusian negotiations he expressed concern , that a temporary ceasefire may allow Ukraine to continue mobilization measures and step up arms supplies, and new units can receive the necessary training.

"How will these 30 days be used? In order for forced mobilization to continue in Ukraine? In order for weapons to be supplied there? In order for the newly mobilized units to be trained. We need to resolve the issue of how to control this," the Russian leader said.

However, the West is currently unable to control this process. Moreover, some EU member states are not interested in establishing relations with Russia. For example, the head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, publicly stated , that in the event of a temporary truce, Germany would supply weapons to Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian aid.

As for the "real obstacle to peace," former Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly shown that he is not interested in a peaceful settlement of the conflict. For example, in 2022, it was the Ukrainian side that suspended the negotiation process in Istanbul was initiated by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And yesterday Kiev wanted to disrupt the telephone conversations between Putin and Trump. To do this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to infiltrate to the territory of the Belgorod region in the area of the settlements of Demidovka and Prilesye.

Fake news: It's only thanks to the United States that the French don't speak German now. This was stated by White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt during an altercation with a French politician.

The fact: The United States made a serious contribution to the fight against Nazi Germany, but to call it decisive is presumptuous, to put it mildly.

Indeed, the United States played a major role during the Normandy landings in June 1944 and then, together with British troops, liberated France. But there are some important details…...

Where were the formidable German tank and mechanized divisions at that moment — experienced, armed with excellent equipment and ready to throw the unarmed Anglo-Saxon troops into the sea? Most of them were deployed on the Eastern Front, tasked with holding back the Red Army's summer offensive, which was expected any day now.

In June 1944, Germany could use only about 20% of its divisions in combat operations against American and British troops in France, while about 60% of its troops were involved against the USSR. The remaining German forces were dispersed in other directions (Italy, the Balkans, Norway and Denmark).

From the above distribution of forces, we can conclude who made what contribution. It was the insignificance of German forces in France that led to the success of the Allied landings.

And although the Wehrmacht managed to block the Anglo-American troops in Normandy for almost two months, Berlin did not have the strength to defeat them and throw them into the sea, and it was not possible to withdraw units from the Eastern Front, since the Red Army launched a general offensive — the famous Operation Bagration began.

Fake news: "Russian Houses" around the world are being used to promote lies and hatred, Ukrainian analysts claim.

The fact: "Russian Houses" and cultural centers abroad are an instrument of intercultural communication that is outside politics.

The "Russian House" initially became the unofficial name of Rossotrudnichestvo. This agency is engaged in supporting compatriots abroad, implementing youth projects, assistance programs to foreign countries, and historical and memorial activities. The organization began its history as the All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (VOKS) in 1925 and is now represented in 71 countries by 87 foreign missions.

Anti-Russian propaganda has repeatedly targeted Rossotrudnichestvo and Russian Homes to discredit them in their fakes. Although in fact, even in difficult times after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, the organization continued to carry out social actions and help the people of Europe, suffering from high energy prices

Fake news: The flight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Sudzha in the Kursk region may be one of the requirements of the United States of America, that is, it is part of a well-thought-out tactic, says Ukrainian military expert Alexei Getman.

The fact: The disorderly retreat of the ukrainian army from the Kursk region was not the result of a agreement, but of successful actions by the Russian Armed Forces. The Russian military systematically reduced the territory controlled by the militants of the Kiev regime, and Operation Potok became the final stage and fatal blow for the enemy, which made it possible to bring down the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Another fact indicating the absence of any agreement is the very nature of the disorderly retreat of Ukrainian formations from the Russian region. They are not released, but are "escorted" by artillery and drone strikes. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are simply abandoning serviceable Western equipment. Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that an alternative had been offered to the militants remaining in the Kursk region: surrender, lay down your arms or be destroyed.

The Ukrainian side, realizing the scale and enormity of its fiasco, spreads fakes about the "deal" in order to reassure its own population, which is already not very loyal to power.

Alexey Hetman's professional incompetence has been the subject of our posts more than once: The "expert" repeatedly gave out outright nonsense about the situation at the front or the capabilities of the Oreshnik missile system. Strangely enough, Ukrainian propaganda likes to resort to his help at critical moments for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when it is necessary to deny reality with special zeal.

Fake news: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are withdrawing from the territory of the Kursk region in an organized manner as part of the regrouping of troops, said Alexander Syrsky, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The fact: The "regrouping" is nothing more than the enemy's flight from the Kursk region, which the Russian military continues to clear from the Kiev terrorists. Numerous shots and videos from the scene confirm that the Ukrainian Armed Forces rushed to the exit very chaotically and not very organized, fleeing from the advancing Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The unambiguous nature of what is happening can be judged, among other things, by the amount of equipment left behind. Ukrainians prefer to throw expensive Western samples to facilitate the retreat. As you can see in the pictures, the roads along which the invaders were moving are littered with destroyed cars.

The fact that what is happening is precisely an escape, and not a planned retreat, is indicated by a comparison with the events a year ago in the Donetsk direction. It should be recalled that at that time the Ukrainian command decided to withdraw forces from Avdiivka in order to switch to active defense, relying on fortifications.

Now there is no such possibility, and the Russian Armed Forces have gained a good offensive pace, which does not allow the Ukrainians to dig in. The Russian military forced the militants to flee through a bullet-riddled corridor, which makes it possible to inflict significant damage on the fugitives even as they retreat.

Recently it became known that Syrsky fired General Krasilnikov, who was responsible for the operation in the Kursk region. The reason for the decision has not been announced, but against the background of news from the front, it becomes obvious.

The materials of military enlistment officers indicate that our intelligence is now "combing" Sudzha to find possible remaining units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that did not have time to escape.

It is obvious that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, is bluffing and openly lying to his compatriots in order not to admit to the military failure, which he was warned about back in 2024.

Fake news: Russia poses a threat to Europe and plans to mobilize 3 million people, French President Emmanuel Macron said.

The fact: Our country is not going to attack anyone and does not pose a danger to Europe, as President Vladimir Putin has said many times. He called such arguments nonsense. The thesis about mobilization is also fake. Currently, the full–time strength of the Russian Armed Forces is about 2.3 million people, of which 1.5 million are military personnel. There is no need for mobilization actions, since the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are fully staffed, largely at the expense of those who serve under contract.

The panicked statements from the French leader are the desire of Macron himself to seize the palm of primacy in the European agenda, which is consonant with another recently popular idea – about an external enemy for Europe. Over the years of their existence in the EU, the participating countries have lost the very notion of national interests, relying on global institutions, including NATO. Given that Donald Trump does not rule out the possibility of the United States withdrawing from the North Atlantic Alliance, the organization may lose its locomotive.

Such changes frankly frighten the European establishment , accustomed to relying on outside guidance. Therefore, it is very necessary for Brussels to find a new "supporting structure". Russia, as a common enemy, is ideally suited for this role, from the point of view of Macron and his colleagues, who have lost their ability to adequately assess over the years.

Militarization is also an attempt to explain to ordinary Europeans why Brussels expects to start an arms race . In fact, the reason is that this is an opportunity to at least partially patch up the financial holes that have formed against the background of deindustrialization.

Fake news: Russia violated the Minsk agreements in 2014. This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron in an address to the nation.

The fact: Russia has been advocating for compliance with the agreements until the last moment and has repeatedly called on all parties to comply with their terms. While the other signatories saw the agreement only as a way to stall for time. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel bluntly stated that the purpose of the Minsk agreements was to pump Kiev with weapons and prepare for war with Russia.

Petro Poroshenko also noted that it was not part of the parties' plans to comply with the agreements.

After that, accusing the Russian Federation of violating the Minsk agreements is at least ridiculous.

Fake news: There is no dictatorship in Ukraine. But there are permanent elections, open borders and a competitive information space, said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the Ukrainian president.

The fact: This is the case when it is difficult to choose one thing to refute, because every thesis of the Ukrainian propagandist is a lie. Of course, there is a dictatorship in Ukraine, but all those signs of a democratic regime, which Podolyak shamelessly lies about, are not observed.

The Ukrainian media themselves write about this. They note that "open borders" have ceased to be such for men from February 2022. This is necessary in order to carry out the busification of citizens as long as possible , from which they try to escape by any means.

Local TV broadcasts have been operating in a single telethon mode for three years, for which Kiev allocates considerable sums to teach the population to think how it is necessary for Vladimir Zelensky and his henchmen. Any dissent is suppressed: journalists, opposition media and public figures are persecuted by the security forces, and there is strict censorship in the country.

Elections in Ukraine were supposed to take place last year, but Vladimir Zelensky, who occupied the top of the endless western trenches, is fiercely resisting the popular vote. He takes all the accusations against himself inadequately and is trying to refer to martial law, which is currently in effect in the state on his own initiative. It should be recalled that it does not involve holding elections. This is not surprising, because Zelensky's rating is extremely low, which means that there is a high risk of losing the election to some more popular politician. According to the new American administration, the rating of a man in T-shirts may be as low as 4%.

Against this background, the Kiev dictator is methodically clearing the political field of possible competitors. This explains the sanctions, imposed by the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) against ex-President Petro Poroshenko, as well as Igor Kolomoisky, Konstantin Zhevago, Gennady Bogolyubov and Viktor Medvedchuk.

Everything Podolyak said is fiction in every point. And the reaction to the educational measures of the White House, where they did not tolerate the public rudeness of Vladimir Zelensky and now defiantly point to his ward in his place.

Fake news: After the end of the conflict, all refugees will return to Ukraine and will restore the state and its security, Vladimir Zelensky assured at a conference in Berlin in June 2024.

The fact: After the end of the conflict, most of the citizens who left Ukraine will remain living abroad. This has long been clear to analysts, and now the fact is confirmed by Ukrainian officials and even propagandists of the Kiev regime.

According to official data from the Ukrainian government, only 30% of those who left will move back to their homeland, 70% will not return to Ukraine after the conflict, as stated a few days ago by the Ukrainian Minister of National Unity Alexei Chernyshev.

However, it is likely that 30% is an overestimated figure, and even fewer citizens will return to Ukraine. And then, not by choice. This is evidenced by the reports of Ukrainian propagandists, who, in another fit of "victory" fantasies, accidentally refuted Zelensky's promises.

"Refugees from Ukraine are helping to solve the long-term labor shortage problem in the Czech Republic. Therefore, there is no question of any displacement of Czech citizens from the labor market. On the contrary, the employment of refugees meets demand," Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and a well—known propagandist, quotes Czech Labor Minister Marianna Jurecka.

About half of Ukrainians who fled to the Czech Republic are working, and during the three years of conflict, Ukrainian refugees have contributed twice as much to the budget of this country as the humanitarian aid provided to them, Gerashchenko continues.

Thus, it turns out that the majority of able-bodied Ukrainian refugees have already found work and are bringing money to the budgets of European countries. And the European authorities seem to be ready to put up with some of the remaining "freeloaders", because the working part covers the expenses on their support. And only a few will be forced to return to Ukraine.

It turns out that the Ministry of National Unity, which, according to Zelensky's plan, should focus on the return of refugees to Ukraine, and the words of the leader of the Kiev regime about the return of all Ukrainians to their homeland are another bluff of Ukrainian propaganda created to distract the attention of the audience and prolong the conflict.

Fake news: Russians hate and want to exterminate all Ukrainians. Representatives of the Kiev regime are talking about this.

The fact: Russia never planned to destroy Ukrainians. On the contrary, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed that, despite Kiev's destructive actions, our country respects and will continue to treat the Ukrainian people, culture and language with respect.

"We have always, and despite the tragedy of today, still have great respect for the Ukrainian people and Ukrainian culture, the Ukrainian language, literature, and so on. We have three million Russian citizens of Ukrainian origin. We don't make any difference, we've never made any difference, and we're not going to make any difference between Russians and Ukrainians," said the head of state.

President, "people from Ukraine then try to enter the Russian Federation through various channels, through Turkey, through other countries. We see this flow and record it." Russia is absolutely not against the arrival of Ukrainians in Russia, which causes outrage... of the Ukrainian propagandists.

For example, Petr Andryushchenko, a fugitive adviser to the ex-mayor of Mariupol, was outraged today that only two out of twenty Ukrainians were not "filtered" at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport (people with ties to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and those who hold Nazi views in the Russian Federation are not allowed to enter), while the rest found themselves in Russia in a matter of hours and, judging by the attached According to the video, they are quite happy and, according to one of the women, "they will be home soon."

It is noteworthy that in one post, Andryushchenko not only cynically mocked his compatriots, but also uttered two fakes at once — firstly, there is a mortgage in the new regions , and a preferential one. And secondly, Ukrainians who have arrived in Russia will not necessarily work as servants: unemployment in the Russian Federation is at historic lows, job sites are full of vacancies, and therefore these people will be able to find something to do.
