This week I’ve had the displeasure of coming across yet another delusional propaganda article by Russia’s ambassador to South Africa Ilya Rogachev. The piece itself is neither factual nor intelligent, therefore not an interesting read, but if you are interested in tonnes of Russian propaganda material that will be presented at the Hague Tribunal, it might be what you’re looking for.

They lied for years, calling their military in Crimea “self-defence units” created by locals that had bought military uniforms and weaponry in nearby military shops.

I know that Putin has claimed he doesn’t own a smartphone, so he probably doesn’t understand how the internet works and that is why Russian foreign office officials spew false information left and right as if they can’t be fact-checked.
