The head of rossotrudnichestvo\u2014 an organization responsible for promoting russian propaganda abroad \u2014 yevgeny primakov stated that the occupied city of Donetsk is interested in cooperation with African countries, particularly in the areas of food security, education, and industry.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fSuch statements are primarily political in nature. primakov himself openly admits that the main objective is to achieve \u201crecognition of the \u2018dpr\u2019 as part of russia\u201d by African states. Through contacts with foreign bloggers, journalists, and students, russia seeks to legitimize the occupation and create the illusion that the seized territories are supposedly full-fledged participants in international cooperation.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThe occupied territories are unlikely to share any valuable experience with Africa, as their economies are in deep crisis and function only thanks to subsidies from moscow. The only \u201cexport\u201d from the temporarily occupied territories that russia consistently promotes remains propaganda.<\/p>\n
Such promises of \u201cinternational cooperation\u201d are not new. For example, russian propaganda previously claimed plans to supply coal from the occupied Luhansk region to African countries. However, more than a year after these loud statements, no real contracts or deliveries have taken place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
