In the article, RIA Novosti said, 'The tragedy of 1991 (the collapse of the Soviet Union and the founding of the Russian Federation) has been overcome. Russia is regaining its historic fulfillment, with large Russians, Belarusians, and small Russians . We gathered together. If we abandoned this and established a temporary division for centuries, we not only betrayed the memories of our ancestors, but also allowed the collapse of Russia. Would have been cursed by the descendants of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Putin decided not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian problem to future generations and, without exaggeration, took on historical responsibility. '

It's unclear if this article was published with the intention of propaganda, but Belarusian media Nexta said, 'Since the article was published just at 8 o'clock, the publication was planned in advance. They were planning to occupy Ukraine in two days. '

They planned to take Ukraine in two days

But they failed. On the morning of February 26, one of the main Russian propaganda media published an article entitled 'The Offensive of Russia and the New World.' Exactly at 8:00. That means, the publication was planned in advance.

Unlike the past, this war has attracted a lot of live voices from citizens, so it has been described as the 'TikTok War' and the fact that information is spreading through social media is attracting attention. However, due to the news such as this time and the spread of disinformation by the media and individuals, government agencies and social media are calling for caution in handling information. Twitter, Facebook, etc. have responded by deleting the account that sends hoaxes, but the Russian authorities have responded by blocking domestic access to Twitter and Facebook. It is also believed that Russia is developing a 'false flag operation' that disseminates false information domestically and raises antipathy toward Ukraine.
