Russian propaganda has begun circulating TikTok videos in various languages that make fun of the energy crisis. This was reported by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council in Telegram.

A video appeared on social networks about a frozen hero who decided to add heat to his home, but the police rushed to him. At the same time, videos of the opposite content with the gas or hot water turned on are being distributed in Russian on TikTok.

“Thus, Rospropaganda is trying to influence the audience over the age of 18. Instead of the traditional intimidation, Russian propaganda is trying to create the impression that supposedly Russia is the only energy independent and rich country”, the message adds.

In fact, the share of Russian energy carriers in the world market is less than 10%.

Analysts emphasize that with the onset of the heating season, Russia will only increase the energy blackmail of the population. Note that earlier Russian propaganda in the context of messages about the gas crisis in Europe always mentioned sanctions against Russia. Now the Russians are spreading the thesis that Russia is the only country where you can keep warm in winter and not save on electricity and hot water.

This information is being shared on social media. Allegedly, Chinese President Xi Jinping has not appeared anywhere since the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit held in Samarkand, Uzbekystan, where he met Putin in person for the first time since the start of the all-out war in Ukraine. Like, there are rumors about the early resignation of Xi Jinping and China is on the verge of a military coup. This is not true.

On the Flightradar24 website, we see that planes are flying over China, the airspace is not closed. There is also no official confirmation that China has stopped rail traffic and that troops are being transferred to Beijing en masse.

A fake about a coup in China has flown into the social networks of Ukrainians from the Russian information space. Although Xi Jinping met personally with Putin on September 15, China's neutral position has not changed. The other day, US President Joe Biden said that so far there was no evidence of practical support for Russia from China. Also, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in an interview on September 24, called China's position "ambiguous" and said he would like to see help from China to fight against Russia.

This was reported by Russian media, in particular, TASS, and the pro-Russian online publication in Ukraine “Strana.Ua". Allegedly, 11 men and 23 women, captured and held in the colony in Olenivka, turned to the head of the "People's Council" of the terrorist group in the occupied territory of the Donetsk region, Volodymyr Bidiovka, with a request to join the "Cossack battalion" named after Bohdan Khmelnytskyi.

Allegedly, they transmitted their proposal orally through Bediovka. Before that, the Russian media disseminated information, saying that “dozens of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asked for citizenship of the DNR”, and clarified about the same 11 men and 23 women.

As the main intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported earlier, during interrogations of prisoners in Olenivka, physical torture and beatings are actively used to break the moral and psychological qualities of Ukrainian soldiers, to humiliate and psychologically demoralize them. According to intelligence, if the plan is implemented, the FSB representatives plan to attract Ukrainian captives for Russian propaganda.

So far, the Russian media have not provided any evidence of information that allegedly soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are asking to fight on the side of the occupiers, the propagandists wrote only about the transmission of the request “orally”.

This is claimed by Russian state television and pro-Kremlin telegram channels.

Allegedly, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sells Javelins, NLAWs, machine guns, and even tanks with armored personnel carriers from NATO and Europe on the so-called dark Internet - a deep part of the global network where users can remain completely anonymous. This is not true.

A team of BBC journalists investigated and found that ads that offer to buy American weapons are fake. In particular, photos of weapons from ads do not match the description. They were taken many years before the start of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, or photoshopped.

Journalists noticed, while corresponding with supposedly Ukrainian arms dealers in Ukrainian, that they did not speak Ukrainian, and used a lot of Russianisms in their correspondence. Obviously, they translated their messages from Russian into Ukrainian using an online translator.

At the same time, KELA, a company specializing in the analysis of cybercrime threats, believes that the advertisements for the sale are distributed by pro-Russian propaganda sources, and may have been created by them.

Such information is disseminated in the Russian media with reference to representatives of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russian Security Council. Like, it is Washington that deliberately lowers the nuclear threshold, creating a threat to Russia's national security. And politicians in the West are frankly talking about the admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia.

Russian propagandists stepped up the manipulative justification in the international arena after Putin once again threatened Western countries with the use of nuclear weapons on September 21. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, Russians have been regularly spreading the thesis of "nuclear retaliation for NATO states." Thus, Russia refuses a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine and resorts to outright nuclear blackmail and intimidation of other countries with the use of nuclear weapons.
