According to Russia it is a special operation... According to Russia there are no bombings or civilian casualties... According to Russia there are no no grain thefts or blackmail... According to Russia, it is the Ukrainians who bomb their civilians themselves... According to Russia, there is no gas blackmail, they just don't know not repair their pipes which often break down.. According to Russia, there are no Russian deaths and the operation is proceeding according to plan... According to Russia, all Russians agree with Purin 1er... others are in prison or in exile... D. After Russia, the fact of saying the word "War" or the simple fact of demonstrating with an empty sign can be worth 15 years in prison... What a beautiful country.. .“Political discourse is meant to give lies the accent of truth, to make murder respectable, and to give the appearance of solidarity to a mere draft.”G.
