russia has once again stepped up its aggressive rhetoric towards Ukraine\u2019s European partners, resorting to ultimatums and direct threats of military confrontation.<\/p>\n
russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that the possible deployment of military contingents from Western countries in Ukraine would constitute a \u00abdeclaration of war on russia\u00bb. He also threatened Europe with a \u00abvery short war\u00bb if \u00abEurope attacks russia\u00bb. The kremlin chose the \u00abInternational youth festival\u00bb in yekaterinburg, attended by many foreign guests, as the platform for another round of threats and intimidation.<\/p>\n
In his speech, lavrov used a classic propaganda technique of mirroring: against the backdrop of the ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine and constant provocations against European states, he began talking about the \u00abthreat of an attack by Europe\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Through such manipulations, moscow is trying to shift responsibility for escalation onto Western governments and justify its own aggressive actions. This propaganda is aimed both at russia\u2019s domestic audience and at foreigners.<\/p>\n
The kremlin\u2019s aggressive rhetoric once again shows that russia is not seeking ways towards peace, but is using any public platform to intimidate and blackmail the international community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
