Politico published satellite images that allegedly confirm that Russia is “pulling troops and armored vehicles to the border with Ukraine.” But the footage published by the publication was taken in the area of the city of Yelnya, Smolensk region.
State Duma Deputy Leonid Slutsky commented on this delusional article and said that such news is intended only for Zelensky’s advisers.
“The fake news and footage about the“ deployment of Russian military on the border with Ukraine ”is obviously intended for some advisers of Zelensky’s office, who will continue to allow them to stay in a fictional reality where Kiev is opposing “Russian aggression”, Slutsky wrote on his Telegram channel.
According to the deputy, the West “continues to whip up anti-Russian hysteria, not disdaining fakes and outright geographic delirium.”
And in turn, the Politico edition, “riveting another scarecrow about the” villainess-Russia “, supports the anti-Russian rhetoric of the West.
“When the mainstream Western media are excised with ideas and topics for new anti-Russian provocations, they take out some commercial satellite images and begin with manic zeal to look for Russian tanks on them, and then draw meaningful conclusions, forgetting to check the atlas,” he said.
