Russian Cartoons – Another Weapon in The War Against Ukraine

Yevgeniy Golovchenko, an expert on Russian political communication, talked to EUvsDisinfo about Russian cartoons and how glorifying Russia’s war is one element in a comprehensive propaganda effort.

“To circumvent the established restrictions on trade with the Russian Federation, the organizers of the scheme used controlled commercial structures in three countries of the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia. These companies sent the “order” to the Ukrainian manufacturer allegedly for the needs of a foreign party. However, after receiving the military products, the “intermediaries” shipped them to Russia. Moreover, the enemy used its foreign accomplices to repair and maintain its aircraft with the use of Ukrainian spare parts,” reads the comment of the Security Service of Ukraine.
