Russian 'Fight for Peace' and Why It's Important to Know the Lessons of History
Russia has always engaged in deception by twisting and interpreting historical events. To explain the desire to seize foreign lands to a pro-Russian audience, Russia created a positive image of war—a "sacred" war with the noble goal of helping a "brotherly nation." At the same time, the enemy was always blamed for the war, as they allegedly forced Russia to fight.

Теракти та ракетно-дроновий терор: як минув останній тиждень зими у війні
Об'єкти енергетики залишаються пріоритетними цілями для російської армії. Під ударом також транспортна інфраструктура, підприємства і житлові будинки.

Одеса в епіцентрі російських атак
Тиждень знову став випробуванням для Одеси через російські обстріли: ворог тричі масово атакував енергетику, руйнував житлові будинки, пам'ятки архітектури. Потерпали від ворожого вогню Запоріжжя, Херсон, Сумщина, Харківщина і Дніпровщина. Є втрати серед тих, хто рятує та повертає світло в домівки, — загинули троє енергетиків, четверо поліцейських і медикиня. Не обійшлося й без масованих атак всієї України. У вівторок росіяни завдали ударів по 12 областях. Тиждень закінчився комбінованою атакою на Київщину й терактом у Львові.

How the Kremlin Releases Propaganda Against the Defenders of Donetsk Airport Every Year
In 2012, the International Airport “Donetsk” named after Sergei Prokofiev is a new runway, built for the European Championship, and the tallest control tower in Ukraine. Two years later — the gate to Donetsk, a strategic building and a fortification. It has been 11 years since the occupation forces blew up the floor in the new terminal of Donetsk airport on January 20, 2015 during the fighting to keep it. Many Ukrainian soldiers were killed. Every year, on January 20, Ukraine officially celebrates the Day of Remembrance of the defenders of Donetsk airport, bowing their heads in front of their feat. The Russians destroyed the tower, but it lives on as a symbol of the unbreakable will of the Ukrainian defenders, stronger than concrete.

From Mariupol 2014 to Mariupol 2022 — Azov in the lens of Russian propaganda
The return of servicemen from Russian captivity is a positive event, which the Ukrainian and Russian delegations were able to agree on at the talks. However, not a single defender from “Azov” was given by Russia. The Kremlin continues to hold Azov prisoners as their prey. The Kremlin is trying in every possible way to break Ukrainian resistance, because the topic of the return of captured Azov is a powerful lever for manipulating emotions, a painful topic. Because they are the ones who have been waiting for a very long time in Ukrainian families.
