In Cyprus they pay for participation in pro-Russian rallies/Collage of 24 channels
The day before, Russian flags ended up in a garbage heap in Cyprus. They were thrown out after a paid rally “for Russia”.
And the flags themselves were handed out the day before in the Russian embassy itself. Olga Rytsar, a journalist from Cyprus, spoke about this on air on Channel 24.
The flags were thrown away by the participants of the so-called rally held in support of Russia. She noted that actions in support of the aggressor country and in support of Ukraine are very different in number.
This situation looks very deplorable. A maximum of several dozen Russian outcasts. We know that these rallies are paid, they are organized by companies funded by the Russian embassy,” Knight said.
Moreover, in addition to Russian flags, they also give out stickers on the car to be sure to seal the numbers. The pre-printed banners are also handed out to the so-called protesters, as per the training manual.
The rallies will end soon
Pro-Russian people are paid approximately 15-20 euros for participating in such an action. They usually last for several hours.
We all see these promotions end up with flags in the trash. This is how all the trash cans near the embassy look like,” the journalist said.
She also added that there is hope that there will be no such rallies soon. And there is unofficial information that Cyprus will soon expel Russian diplomats and consuls. Therefore, accordingly, there will be no funding for these actions, as well as those who wish to participate in them for free.
