Fox News labels Kyiv a Russian city

During coverage of #Easter services, #FoxNews aired footage of religious services around the world, including the service Putin attended in #Moscow.

Simultaneously, the #right-wing news network broadcast live images from Easter religious services in #Kyiv, #misidentifying the #Ukrainian capital as a #Russian city. The error reportedly remained on screen for 20 minutes.

Ich find's vor allem ärgerlich, dass er den Bullshit-Diskurs der #ColdWarrior zu konventioneller Aufrüstung und konventionellem Krieg mitmacht: Er tut so, als gäbe es nur diese beiden Möglichkeiten.
Dass am Ende des #HybridWar niemand sterben wird, aber wir trotzdem super toll bewaffnet in Unfreiheit unter russischer Hegemonie leben werden… für diese Option ist in seiner Dichotomie gar kein Platz.

What everybody, who had a bit of mind, understood from the very beginning of destruction of Nord Stream is now openly declared and being ridiculed by the #US administration.
Congratulations to the European MPs and Commission for their success on finding the guilty one... social.marxist.network/@yogtho

A new bunch of howitzers in Europe is useless, as long as you don’t recognize that Putins frontline goes straight through your living rooms and pubs.

Unless you want to give the next far right vatnik government a fresh armed military as a present to supress their citizens.

You talking to me? Srsly?
Maybe try again to understand what I wrote: Cold war mindset & conventional weapons are worthless in this #HybridWar (except for supporting Ukraine): They're a knife in a gun fight.
People need to understand that this war is about heads, tweets & votes (and blocks). And it's being lost election after election, no matter how many weapons we buy.
We nees to confess to the realities of this new war and fight disinformation & Putinist parties.

I'm sorry: We are already losing, Putin is winning. And no tank, howitzer, jet fighter, rocket launcher, conscript, whatever will prevent that from happening.
Using a Cold War mindset in the ongoing #HybridWar will just lead us to be much better armed when "AfD" or Jordan Bardella will win their next elections and lead DE or FR out of EU & NATO and into Neo-Eurasia.

@EUCommission The effects of this move by the #USA go beyond the realm of Economics and move into the realm of #Geopolitics

Now is the time to make the best of it. Lets work on our strategic autonomy in a world beset by #HybridWar

It will be a Marathon and not Sprint. But lets fair here, we owe it to ourselves and to our family members currently outside the Union ( #Ukraine ) to make the effort.

I'm preparing my first ever workshop on the topic "The impact of russian Narratives on European Politics and Society". I need articles or short podcasts/vlogs. If you come across some, please tag me or DM me.
Actually books and longer videos and podcasts are also fine as long as you point to a specific page/minute.
The language doesn't matter. But DE, PL, UA, EN are preferred

Russia uses #disinformation to undermine peace

#Kremlin revived familiar narratives of #Ukraine as aggressor

#Russian authorities claimed Ukraine of targeting Russian nuclear power plants & committing war crimes civilians

Russia consistently uses accusations to deflect blame from it's actions

Russia committed many #WarCrimes, militarized Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, used Shahed drone to strike structure of #Chornobyl’s Reactor 4
