Not relevant to the war
Today is Vyshyvanka Day
Given Russia is treating this as a cultural extermination and genocidal war, fixed it for you.
Last year Russians bought a lot of snowmobiles from northern Finland and ATVs from northern Norway.
Sensing that they are losing control of their false narratives.
Grebenshchikov lives in London, so this probably is not an example of a Z-head turning against the war.
Meanwhile, soldiers who express gratitude for donated supplies are punished for discrediting the army.
I’m not reading Beijing’s request as being just overflowing with good faith; but it seems like a “what do you think embassies even do?” sort of thing.
An embassy that doesn’t work to represent its nation’s interests is basically just a spy hotel that can stamp visas; and ‘politicized propaganda’ is pretty much just a term of abuse for a political stance you dislike; not some sort of well-formed category distinguishable from ‘legitimate’ articulations of state interest.
Red Green would be so proud!
Canada’s contribution to the war effort.
