The proposal undermines Ukrainian sovereignty by rejecting NATO membership. It ignores Ukraine’s right to self-defence and overlooks Russia’s long record of violating agreements. Unsurprisingly, it is widely applauded by Russia-friendly actors.

‼️putin’s attempts to speak to the world exclusively in the language of fear once again prove that only increased pressure can stop the aggressor.

over three years of war have undermined russia’s budget and economy, the fuel crisis shows how vulnerable russia is to strikes deep inside its territory, and advances on the frontline are possible only at the cost of enormous losses.

❗️The goal of putin’s propaganda performance is to create the illusion of russia’s invulnerability and invincibility. However, reality is very different:

✅ Moreover, with his joke about “not sending drones to Denmark anymore,” putin effectively admitted that it is indeed russian UAVs flying into Europe, despite moscow’s official denials.

At the same time, much of putin’s speech consisted of threats. He threatened to strike Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, to give “a very convincing response to the militarization of Europe,” and once again hinted at using the mythical “oreshnik” and russia’s most advanced nuclear weapons.

responsibility for prolonging the war in Ukraine lies with an “aggressive” Europe; the russian army is supposedly “relentlessly and confidently” advancing; the West allegedly uses Ukrainians as “expendable material,” and so on.

Behind the rhetoric of “fighting colonialism,” russia is in fact reviving colonial practices, exploiting Africans as cheap labor and “cannon fodder” for its aggressive war against Ukraine.

In reality, they were forced to work in the production of military drones used by russia to attack Ukrainian cities.‼️ Such stories demonstrate the true nature of moscow’s policy toward Africa.

▫️ This is not the first case of russia exploiting Africans for its war purposes. Earlier, it was revealed that women from South Africa were being massively recruited for “work” in the “Alabuga” special economic zone.

The government of Kenya has already launched an official investigation into the possible sale of its citizens into slavery for the russian army.

These are elements of a single kremlin strategy aimed at intimidating neighbors and pressuring NATO. moscow seeks to destabilize NATO member states and create division among Ukraine’s partners.
