Russia has launched a propaganda campaign in the occupied territories for the Day of Liberation of Donbas.

According to inkorr.com: Russia has decided to intensify its propaganda campaign in the territories under its control on the occasion of the Day of Liberation of Donbas from Nazi occupation. This is reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

'In the Kremlin's rhetoric, this day is considered particularly important and is associated with the cult of 'great Victory'. Propagandists are trying to compare the modern occupation of Donbas with 'liberation from Nazism', creating the impression that Russian troops continue the glorious cause of the Soviet army.'

However, the reality in the occupied territories of Donbas is complex: there is a humanitarian crisis and destruction of infrastructure here. In many settlements, even unstable water supply is a major problem. 'Such 'celebrations' are useful for Moscow to divert attention from real problems. Instead of restoring and creating normal living conditions, the occupiers paint a propaganda picture of 'victory'', - noted the Center.

The Kremlin sacrifices the memory of World War II to justify its aggression

It is also noted that the Kremlin shamelessly uses the memory of World War II to mask modern aggression and to silence crimes in the occupied territories.

Ukrainian journalists have recorded that Russia has launched a large-scale propaganda campaign in the occupied territories on the occasion of the Day of Liberation of Donbas from Nazi occupation. The Kremlin is trying to focus the celebration on the idea of victory, opening the veil on the real problems arising from the occupation. Russian propaganda uses the memory of World War II to justify its aggression and silence the crimes committed in these territories.

These events testify to how propaganda can distort history and the real state of affairs to support political goals. It is important to realize that in wartime, information becomes a powerful weapon, and its use for manipulation only deepens the humanitarian crises experienced by the residents of the occupied territories.
