How russian propaganda “covers up” its crimes in occupied territories with a “day of reunification”
▫️ russian propaganda has launched a large-scale information campaign to mark the anniversary of the pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories. Propaganda channels distribute statements by russian dictator vladimir putin and kremlin-appointed leaders on the so-called “day of reunification”.
◽️ Propaganda events are being held to create a “festive atmosphere,” pushing the narrative of a “happy occupation” and how the occupied territories are allegedly “thriving” under russian control. This serves as a justification for russia’s war of conquest.
In reality, all the kremlin’s claims about improving living conditions in the TOT are cynical lies designed to distract from russian crimes against Ukraine.
▫️ The occupied territories face a humanitarian crisis due to russian aggression, destroyed infrastructure, and human rights violations.
▫️ Life in these areas is marked by repression and violence against civilians.
