Putin is behind coordinated pro-Moscow demonstrations across Europe, experts suggest, as hundreds take to the streets of Belgrade with Russian flags and 'Z' symbol t-shirts

Moscow may be co-ordinating pro-Russian demonstrations across Europe to amplify pockets of support for its war in Ukraine, it has been reported.

In recent weeks cities including Berlin, Dublin, Hanover, Frankfurt and Athens have seen people take to the streets with Russian flags and vehicles emblazoned with the pro-war Z symbol that has become synonymous with the Kremlin's forces in Ukraine.

Many of the marches have taken place at the same time, despite being hundreds of miles away from each other, prompting Russian experts to suggest they might be being coordinated by Moscow, according to The Times.

The experts told the newspaper that Russians living in other European countries may have been instructed by the Rossotrudnichestvo - a federal agency that works to the benefit of the country's diaspora.

All protests have shared similar characteristics - hundreds of pro-Kremlin demonstrators waving the Russian tricolour, displaying the Z symbol and parroting pro-Putin propaganda about the war in Ukraine.

A lot of Soviet flags have shown up to these rallies, as well as in Germany the flag of the East Germany. Other Communist Party flags have also appeared in these.

Putin may be “coordinating” it in some sense, but it doesn’t take bribery to get Serbians to be pro-Russian.

If thousands was the best he could get in Belgrade, where the pan-Slavic movement in the EU is at its strongest, Putin isn’t very popular in Europe right now. In comparison, back in 1983, the Russian-funded (on the sly) Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament managed 250K demonstrators in London.

Damn right. I respect all nationalist leader that stand up the globalist scumbags that reeking havoc all over the world and who constantly screw over America.

Solution: Round up all of the pro-Putin rioters and then check to see which ones have Russian passports. Deport those hooligans back to Russia via the Ukrainian border and let them walk back to Russia from there.

Through Ukrainian territory.

I’m sure it’ll work out just fine for them.

The Serbs are traditional allies of Russia. However, the Russians were unable or unwilling to stop the NATO intervention in ex-Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Also. Ukraine is also Slavic and Orthodox Christian, not Catholic or Germanic.

Yeah, kind of amazing, isn't it? In one post, they insist the US has to provide more aid or get involved directly, because Putin is a super-genius evil mastermind, commanding a military that can conquer Europe by next Friday, and take the Middle East on the weekend. Next post, Putin is suddenly crazy, stupid, and dying, all at once, and his military is absolutely no threat, including his nuclear forces.

The funniest part is when the people making those contradictory posts start throwing insults - exactly like the angry homeless 'squeegee guy' at the traffic light, if you don't give him a quarter to smear muddy water on your windshield...

And I’m sure that Putin is also going out at night stealing cats milk, personally murdering endangered species in the middle of the night, cutting down I endangered trees and Causing global warming.

He wouldn’t be able to get in because of all the Biden-Zelensky bots.
