“He thought first about a great goal and his brothers, and only then about himself.” How Russian propaganda is trying to defame Ukrainian defenders.
Discrediting Ukraine's defenders has been one of the constant tasks of Kremlin propaganda since the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine. In order to stop the advance of the Ukrainian army near the borders of Donetsk in 2014, Russia was forced to send its regular troops to help the separatists. And with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Armed Forces finally destroyed the narrative of the invincibility of the “second army of the world.” The Russians suffered huge losses in equipment and manpower near Soledar, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and other Ukrainian fortress cities.
