It’s been over a month since Russia invaded Ukraine, and things are only getting worse. At least 24,000 innocent people have lost their lives; many folks fled the country to escape the atrocities, yet a good deal of citizens stayed behind to support their loved ones.

While none of us can comprehend why such a brutal and inhumane thing is still happening in this day and age, the Russian government is not wasting its time and is busy controlling the naive minds of its people. The country has taken censorship to a new extreme, prohibiting folks from voicing their opinions while also taking over the federal channels to cover up the true consequences of the aggression.

Alexey Navalny, perhaps through his team, took it to Twitter to expose the way Russian television delivers information about the ongoing armed conflict, specifically talking about the recent Bucha massacre. The thread received nearly 57K likes and dozens of comments discussing the evilness of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian crisis.

The Russian opposition leader – who was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent and was later sentenced to 9 years in prison for fraud, though many folks believe this conviction to be politically motivated – came out with a thread expressing his concern for Russian TV propaganda. On the 5th of April, Navalny’s team delivered his thoughts on the recent Bucha tragedy through his personal Twitter account, where Alexey shared how an ordinary Russian TV viewer sees this monstrous event.

Navalny began his thread by explaining that he found out about the horrific events in Bucha just a day before, where he discovered that Russia was convening the United Nations Security Council in connection with the mass killings by Ukrainian Nazis in the city. The man adds that, in the evening, Channel One, which is a main federal channel of the country, went through the situation and that he wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.

The channel stated that NATO has been preparing the provocation in Bucha for a long time. Moreover, it’s been mentioned that the current president of the United States has recently called President Putin a butcher – which, no doubt, confirms that the provocation is, in fact, real. The absurdness then continues by the anchor explaining how similar “butcher” and “Bucha” sound in English, hinting that this is exactly how the Western audience was subconsciously prepared for the event – implying that folks will automatically make a connection between Putin being called a butcher and the killings that happened in the city.

Navalny then adds that the number of lies ordinary folks constantly witness on their federal TV channels that were made specifically to keep the citizens connected with the world’s information is truly bewildering. But so is their persuasiveness to those who have no access to alternative sources, or to those who are completely hypnotized by Putin’s false intentions.

Alexey says that the endless but meaningless talk, the anchors have already surpassed the military in their aggressiveness. They demand a war right until the end and they “mop the floor” with their fellow colleagues if they at least hint that, maybe, peace talks are a good idea. The opposition leader shares that politics is a propaganda snake biting its own tail as people create such opinions that don’t simply allow the Russian Government to commit war crimes, but demand it.

Navalny believes that all these people should be treated as war criminals. He then reminds his followers that the National Media Group is also responsible for the amount of lies that circle around Russia, which he thinks is owned by Putin himself, as it was formally headed by his mistress – Alina Kabaeva. The man says that extreme measures should be applied to make the work of these people difficult, for instance, a complete ban on the supply of their equipment.

Alexey finishes his emotional thread by saying that the horrific crimes that were committed in Bucha, Irpin and other Ukrainian cities are the responsibility not only of those who tied the poor people’s hands, but also of those who stood by and encouraged such a monstrosity.
