Russia cannot be trusted/Screenshot
Russia continues its hybrid information attacks. Do you remember the propagandist Ovsyannikova, who became famous all over the world, allegedly breaking into the RosTV studio with a banner “Stop the war” without permission? Now this “pacifist” is telling foreign channels that ordinary Russians “are not to blame for the war against Ukraine.” Such a multi-step move to convince the West to lift sanctions.
Russia is not sitting idly by
This means only one thing. Sanctions are in place and are hurting the Russian budget and many areas of activity.
But. First, sanctions do not take effect immediately. In some industries they have already been felt, in others it will take several months. And in Ukraine people die every day. This means that sanctions need to be strengthened as quickly as possible.
Secondly, everyone understands that Russia will not sit idly by, but will look for ways to circumvent sanctions as soon as possible.
Don't have access to social networks? They go through a VPN. Foreign companies seem to have left the market? But they were forced to pay wages to workers, threatening to nationalize property. Sanctioned goods can't be obtained because of Europe? They are transported through Kazakhstan. And there are dozens, hundreds of such examples.
The world must react immediately to the Kremlin's attempts to break out of the sanctions ring. And don't fall for the lies of the Russians.
We, the Ukrainians, cannot be deceived. We have tested on ourselves the entire arsenal of weapons of Putin's propaganda machine.
In fact, we have collective immunity to Russian lies. Therefore, we urge the world to finally inoculate itself against the virus of Putin's lies. Turn off all Russian channels, greatly increase the sanctions.
Sanctions are working
And one more reminder. In 2014, when the Russian army invaded Ukraine, Western countries slowly began to impose sanctions against the Kremlin.
Remember what flash mob was staged in Russia then? “Sanctions? My Iskanders don't make fun“. It's been 8 years. And Ukraine felt for itself what the Iskander and other Russian weapons are. Experienced by thousands of lives, by millions of migrants.
Now Russia must finally be punished. And if she is so afraid of sanctions and is looking for some way to get out of this corner, they need to be strengthened as much as possible.
