Ukraine lost on battlefield, West cannot accept it: media manipulations on January 30

This was reported by Espreso.TV.

According to the Centre for Countering Disinformation, on January 30, Russia launched three major manipulations.

Manipulation: "Europe and the United States have one goal - to take away Russia's resources. Russia is the number one country in the world in terms of natural resources... Europe is trying to break Putin, to break Russia, to get access to the incredible wealth that Russia has," said ex-analyst CIA Larry Johnson.

Manipulation: Commenting on the announcement by the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, that three US inspectors had arrived in Kyiv, Telegram channel Ukraine.ru wrote: "An inspection from the United States has arrived in Ukraine... They will listen and watch for Zelenskyy's new begging. On this 'important' occasion, the air raid alarm traditionally roars in Ukraine."

Manipulation: "We are now entering a new phase in the US proxy war. Ukraine has failed on the battlefield and the West cannot accept defeat. The proxy will now attack Russian industry in an attempt to force Russia into unacceptable peace terms," Kim Dotcom wrote on X (Twitter).

• On January 28, Russian propaganda promoted another fake about a coup d'état in Ukraine, the "core" of which is the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
