Zelenskyy went to Estonia to return refugees of military age: new Russian fakes for Jan. 12

This was reported by Espreso TV.

According to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, on January 12, the Russian propagandists launched three major deceptions. 

Disinformation: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: "The aggressive rhetoric of the Kyiv regime is accompanied by pre-planned terrorist attacks against the civilian population of our country, and their own country as well."

Manipulation: Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, stated: "Russia is continuing the 'special military operation' in order to achieve its goals."

Disinformation: Russian blogger-propagandist Dmitry Puchkov, commenting on the visit of the President of Ukraine to Estonia, said: "Zelenskyy went to Estonia to talk about how to return refugees of military age to Ukraine."

• The Russians also spread a fake that the Ukrainian delegation attending the World Economic Forum in Davos will "beg" for new military loans from global businesses instead of state land and assets.
