Russia is spreading a "peace, not war" agenda to stop the supply of weapons to Ukraine. All the useful idiots from the Soviet era have been mobilized. There are also new agents.

Do you remember Armand Hammer, who became a millionaire by selling Soviet minerals and art objects? Well, it seems that Russia has found Elon Musk, who may be hoping to become a billionaire by promoting Russian interests. In addition to his involvement in spreading Russian-produced misinformation, he has taken action that is very timely for the Russian offensive. SpaceX has restricted access to Starlink for Ukrainian Armed Forces drones. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said that Starlink, which provided the Ukrainian military with broadband to protect them from Russia, was "never meant to be weaponized" and the company "never wanted them to use it for offensive purposes." If Musk does not support the Ukrainian offensive, then he supports the Russian offensive – there is no middle ground.

“Russian propaganda is naturally obsessed with the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine. They are doing their best to counteract it”

Russian propaganda is naturally obsessed with the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine. They are doing their best to counteract it by all means. In this regard, Russia is conducting information operations in several areas at once.

First, both Russian propagandists and their agents of influence have been very active in producing all kinds of fake news in the directions that Russia needs.

“There will always be a bunch of useful idiots who are ready to shout about pacifism and disarmament. Only for some reason, these pacifists usually call on the victim of an attack, not the aggressor, to disarm”

Secondly, Russian propagandists simultaneously threaten the world with nuclear weapons and promote the struggle for peace in Western countries. There are always a bunch of useful idiots who are ready to shout about pacifism and disarmament. Only for some reason, these pacifists usually call on the victim of an attack, not the aggressor, to disarm. The last meeting of the UN Security Council, which was convened by the Russian Federation, is a good example. Russia convened it precisely to persuade the West not to supply Ukraine weapons. And they found a useful idiot to talk about disarmament. Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters.

This is nothing new. Russia is trying to use the same levers and virtually the same people that the Soviet Union used in similar cases. In the USSR, this trick was called ideological disarmament of the enemy.

Thirdly, as follows from Waters' speech at the UN, Russia is trying to organize negotiations to achieve a ceasefire and fix the current front line situation.
