Russia using propaganda to mislead global community– Lithuanian Representative to UN

Russia is trying to deceive global community by using aggressive propaganda, Permanent Representative of Lithuania to the United Nations Raimonda Murmokaite has said.

For the whole year, aggressive anti-Ukrainian propaganda has been used to brainwash, confuse and distract people. But the international community should not give in to such misconceptions, Murmokaite said at an extraordinary meeting of UN Security Council.

During her speech, she named the most common propaganda clichés and questioned Russia's claims of noninvolvement in the war in Ukraine.

Murmokaite raised such questions: how a bunch of militants can seize the power and attack on three fronts against the Ukrainian state; how can a bunch of illegal military formations without external connections, budget or income receive Grad, Uragan and TOS-1 Buratino multiple rocket launchers; where did they take $4 million to cover the expenses; where did they get the air fleet they are talking about; how come hundreds of Russian soldiers are dying in Ukraine, if they are not there; how come hundreds of Russian mothers are receiving 'Cargo 200' as the results of the military conflict, in which Russia is allegedly not participating.
