Russian media spread this message with reference to American journalist Ben Swann. In social networks, Swann also spreads other messages that resonate with Russian propaganda: the Russian ruble is the most stable currency this year; American sanctions have a positive effect on the Russian economy; the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are ready to face the economic war of the West. He also claims that for the stability of food prices, the US leadership in private urges foreign companies to buy Russian fertilizer. Swann previously denied Russia's responsibility for the downing of the MH17 plane.
