Russian disinfo review: 'If Russia had not stopped NATO's actions in Ukraine, Alliance would have started a war under pretext of Crimea'

The Center for Countering Disinformation shared the review.

As of the morning of July 20, Russia launched three disinfo campaigns.

Disinformation: Representatives of the Russian Embassy in the USA stated that "the claims about the invasive nature of the Russian military special operation are fundamentally false. We are restoring peace to the liberated territories, creating conditions for normal life and the observance of equal rights of citizens regardless of ethnicity and language."

Disinformation: the Russian mass media is pushing a thesis that seems to belong to the leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei: "if the Russian Federation had not stopped NATO's actions in Ukraine, then after some time the alliance would have started a war under the pretext of Crimea."

Fake story: Russian propagandist Dmitriy Solovyov accused Ukrainian refugees of mowing the grass in the form of a swastika in a field in the suburbs of Brandenburg: "at first we help the Ukrainian Nazis, saying that there is no Nazism in Ukraine, and then we wonder where a swastika in Brandenburg's suburbs came from, because we only let a few refugees from Ukraine into the country."
