Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Unfortunately that is not the case anymore. Propaganda works, repression works. Putin has the overwhelming support of Russian people and they share his views, not only about the role of Russia in the world, but also about killing Ukrainians.
People are idiots and will do as they are propaganded. They can be propaganded in the other direction as well.
It would be hard to undue decades of indoctrination
It is. Look at east germany. Yes they were wronged and betrailed by the democratic world when they got taken over, but their indoctrination also had its part
I can look at it. Its still different than the west after all this time.
