Desperate Russia’s Wild Lies Leave Soldiers Waving Red Underpants

Russia’s bloody invasion of Ukraine continues to claim lives, as the Kremlin’s military leadership resorts to increasingly brutal tactics against civilians—including a ghastly attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv and other sites across Ukraine. In their comments on state television, prominent propagandists often reiterate that Moscow’s campaign of senseless brutality is designed to prompt Ukrainians to overthrow their government. Russian talking heads also resort to nuclear threats, which is always a sign that things on the battlefront are not going well.

Indeed, Russian propagandists and military experts are tacitly acknowledging sinking morale and widespread lying in their military. Despite sunny reports by Russia’s Defense Ministry, grim realities prompted the newest Minister of Defense Andrey Belousov to stress, “Making mistakes is acceptable; lying is not.”

Appearing on Tuesday’s broadcast of Vladimir Solovyov’s morning show, Full Contact, military expert Vladislav Shurygin revealed some examples of the dishonesty Russian authorities are having to contend with. Using the code 500s, he said that there are soldiers who have fled or refused to fight in Ukraine. Shurygin recounted, “I was talking to a Commander of one regiment, who said that their neighboring division did not support them, did not go into battle. Why? Because according to their list, there are 1,400 soldiers, but in reality, there are half as many. Tons of people are running around elsewhere, some did not come back from their vacations, but there is no desire to report it honestly, because there will be repercussions.”

He continued, “When we’re asking why we can’t forcefully move forward, when you add up all of these issues—turns out, we have systematic problems.”

My favorite Russian lie, is a Russian Orthodox priest who on Russian TV claimed that a Chinese man, fighting for the Russians in Ukraine, was killed, and then was resurrected by Saint Luke of Crimea. Russian idiocy

Chinese Volunteer Fighting for Russia, Killed and then Resurrected

This report cannot be true.

Russia would not lie to us or anybody. Good guys don’t lie and don’t have to lie.

The only liars are in the U.S. and in NATO and especially in Ukraine.

Putin forever!!!

Are you behind and voting for Trump, Timber?

Ukraine, BTW, is getting its ass kicked:

What is that supposed to prove?

A Russian Christian could post dozens of sick pastors in this country promoting homosexuality, transgenderism and abortion from the pulpit.

It’s telling that you have to rely on a far-left source to post propaganda about the war in Ukraine.

There are so many liars on both sides of this fight, I’ve lost count.

This sounds plausible, but so what? The entire thing is a meat grinder.

I imagine it’s pretty good, judging by how freaked out they get at those of us who want the money flow from the U.S. to stop.

What does those bombs blow up? A Russian tug boat in the Black Sea or were they directed at civilians in Crimea again?
