The Russian media spread this information. Foreigners allegedly escape the cold in local offices of Russian cooperation called "Russian Houses." The day before, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia launched a propaganda campaign to show that Europe is allegedly freezing without Russian gas.

The first results of this action were announced the very next day. Allegedly, they have already basked in "Russian houses" in Finland and Luxembourg. Analysts at The Insider found out Luxembourg was quite warm last week - from 17 to 21 degrees during the day to 10 to 14 at night. In addition, propagandists used a video from the showing of the cartoon "Alyosha Popovych and Tugaryn Zmiy" at the "Russian House" in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, as proof of the "warming" of Finns and Luxembourgers.

This disinformation is intended to show that Europe will freeze without Russian gas, but Europeans can avoid it if they forget about Russia's war in Ukraine. They allegedly can speak out against anti-Russian sanctions and start consuming Russian culture en masse.

Such information is distributed on social networks; in particular, fake accounts advertise this information on Facebook.

The Russian military is allegedly evacuating civilians from Kherson to protect people from shelling and possibly undermining the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant. It shows that they treat civilians more carefully than the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian army allegedly prefers to take cover as civilians during hostilities. Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Russian propagandists have been promoting the message that the Ukrainian military is using civilians as "human shields."

Propagandists show their careful attitude of the Russians towards the Ukrainians as a forced evacuation to Russia without the right to choose, the seizure of the homes of the people who evacuated, the abduction of children, and the intimidation that during the de-occupation all locals will be shot. Those civilians who disagree with Russian propaganda are kidnapped from their homes, tortured, and buried in mass graves.

"Human shield" is a standard element of the tactics of the Russian army: it was the case in Chechnya, Georgia, and Syria. It is happening now in Ukraine as well. The Russians practice creating a "human shield," organizing offline training in schools, creating huge queues of cars at roadblocks, and placing military equipment and personnel near residential buildings. Therefore, Russian soldiers are worse than terrorists who take hostages.

Anonymous Telegram channels distribute such messages. They also spread posts about the lack of weapons and advertise the profiles of nameless people on Facebook.

The management of the drone company Bayraktar allegedly informed the Office of the President of Ukraine that they were forced to reduce supplies because Russia included such a condition in one of the clauses of the gas agreement with Turkey. Russian propagandists assure that the USA has refused to supply Ukraine with air defense systems and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). The West allegedly can only transfer a few air defense systems to Ukraine. At most, air defense will be able to cover the West and a small part of the Center of Ukraine. Other regions will allegedly be forced to solve defense problems on their own.

As you know, at the beginning of October, four additional HIMARS salvo fire systems arrived in Ukraine. On October 19, the manufacturer Lockheed Martin said that the US is increasing the production of HIMARS due to the Ukrainian military's successful use of these systems over the past few months. Baykar Makina also continues to support Ukraine with drones. The recent agreement between Turkish President Erdogan and Putin on creating a gas hub in Turkey doesn't affect their activities.

However, Putin has been offering Erdogan cooperation in the production of drones since the beginning of the summer of 2022. Such messages show that the Ukrainian army will have nothing to fight and Russia will win in a few days. This autumn, the Ukrainian military is confidently moving forward, liberating the territory in the Kharkiv, Kherson, and Donetsk directions. Instead, propagandists invented "news" about Ukraine's arms reduction to show that it was a fluke and that the Russian army would no longer allow a retreat from the territories.

Kyrylo Stremousov, a Russian collaborator and representative of the occupation administration of the Kherson Region, published a video message on his Telegram channel, where he presented his version of events as of the evening of October 23, 2022, against the background of a map of Ukraine with occupied cities.

Pro-Russian bloggers spread Stremousov's map as a real map of military operations in Ukraine and concluded: "Ours made serious progress in a day." Russian troops are allegedly again near Kyiv, as of the beginning of March 2022, and have captured the entire territory of the border regions with Russia and partly with Belarus. Stremousov promised that "soon Mykolayiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk regions will be freed from Ukrainian Nazis." In addition, the collaborator Stremousov fled from Kherson to the temporarily occupied Crimea. When the Ukrainian army is successfully advancing in the counterattack in the Kherson direction, the Russian occupiers and collaborators are fleeing, taking away the loot.

Stremousov passes off wishful thinking and spreads fakes about a "stable front in the Kherson region" and an impossible plan. Such "news" is aimed at diverting attention from the defeats of the Russian army and the failure of the mythical "sacred duty of Russians to liberate Ukraine from neo-fascism."

Pro-Kremlin anonymous Telegram channels massively spread such messages.

On the evening of October 22 in Zaporizhzhia, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Vyacheslav Boguslayev, the honorary president of the Motor Sich joint-stock company, on suspicion of working for Russia. Investigators established that after 2014, the Motor Sich company continued to supply aircraft engines to Russian planes that bombed Ukraine. For the next few days, Boguslayev's arrest was actively discussed by Russian propagandists on social networks to prove that he allegedly had nothing to do with Russia.

At first, propagandists assumed that Boguslayev's arrest was a purge of Zelenskyy's competitors in the new political season. From 2021, the Ukrainian authorities allegedly arrested everyone whose opinion differed from Zelenskyy's policy. Propagandists claim that there is classified information on everyone who once cooperated with Russia, particularly on Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who once had business in Russia.

The West allegedly knows about it and decides when and whom to detain. Boguslayev became a "victim" of the "western curators of Ukraine" dispute. He reportedly earned money from Turkish bayraktars and has nothing to do with Russia. Russian propagandists emphasize that Boguslayev is a friend of Turkey and the USA but an enemy of Russia. Ukrainian politicians who fled to Russia spread the idea that Boguslayev's story is not about politics; it is only about money. Russian propagandists didn't accidentally whitewash Boguslayev's reputation.

Their messages were a kind of informational counterattack to the facts of the Security Service of Ukraine, which published audio recordings of the telephone conversations of the president of Motor Sich. These audios confirm Boguslayev's cooperation with Russia, that he didn't hide his pro-Russian views, and was repeatedly elected as a People's Deputy from the pro-Russian Party of Regions.

The Russian media wrote about it. Israel refuses to transfer any weapons to Ukraine precisely because of these reasons. Such words are attributed to the former prime minister of Israel, the leader of the opposition, Benjamin Netanyahu. The opposition leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, interviewed the American TV channel MSNBC, in which there was a discussion about Russia's war against Ukraine and the situation with Iran, which helps Russia with weapons.

To the question, "Should Israel do more to support Ukraine?" Netanyahu replied that his country has a reasonable policy in this sense. He didn't say anything about Ukraine stealing or reselling weapons to someone. Netanyahu also didn't say that this is the reason for the refusal to supply arms to Ukraine. "When it comes to weapons, there is always the possibility, it has happened repeatedly, that the weapons that we supply to one battlefield will end up in the hands of the Iranians and be used against us," Netanyahu said. Russian propagandists distorted the words of the Israeli leader.

Russia has repeatedly tried to accuse Ukraine of selling weapons received from Western partners on the black market, but these "facts" turned out to be faked. Propagandists throw such theses into the information space to cause distrust of the Ukrainian army at the international level and reduce or even stop, the support of Western partners. More details.
