Russian propagandists spread the thesis about "the futility of spending on the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine" - Center for Countering Disinformation

This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation on Telegram. 

"Kremlin media, referring to the statement of the member of the European Parliament, Thierry Mariani, write that the European Commission, before allocating any funds, must guarantee repayment of loans by Ukraine, which are planned to be directed to its post-war recovery. According to Thierry Mariani, only under the condition of positive economic forecasts, it is possible to help Ukraine financially," - Center for Countering Disinformation noted. 

In addition, on June 27, the deputy stated that "the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could have been avoided if Ukraine had fulfilled the Minsk agreements." Thierry Mariani also calls the temporarily occupied Crimea Russian.

"Using loyal international politicians, Russia is trying to create the impression that helping Ukraine financially is wasteful. However, the Kremlin is keeping silent about the frozen gold and foreign currency reserves of Russia, which are planned to be withdrawn as reparations for the benefit of Ukraine," the Center under the NSDC emphasized.
