Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
What was the intention behind this sentence? You’re clearly not Russian, nor have lived in Russia for any considerate amount of time, as the blog post you’ve linked is full of markers of someone who has spent their entire life in Kiyv. Whom are you trying to fool here?
Thanks for recognizing this. Yes, most people in russia aren’t “russian”, they have just been assimilated into the amorphous imperial identity.
Oh wow, something new to learn about myself I guess. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
What do you mean by markers? Indicators?
Why does linking to an article by someone originally from kiyv indicate they’re not Russian? What does it matter whom the article is from when it matches their experience as a Russian?
Linking to it doesn’t indicate its their own article.
Yes, usage of certain words, sentences, points one would only pick up by consuming local propaganda. One example of which would be the word “Muscovite”, which is not even a word in any Russian’s vocabulary.
It is their own article. Just open their profile, ffs.
