Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

[…]

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

[…]

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

[…]

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

    A Ukrainian civil war, fought with Russian weapons and Russian military personnel?

    People hit on .ML for repeating the propaganda of an Imperialist war machine. Just as much as most sane (non US) people hit on idiots repeating the propaganda of the US Imperialist war machine. Or Israels, or whatever.

      I am talking about the post-maidan civil war in donbass where the social order in east ukraine broke down, police abandoned their posts and the civilians looted the stations for weapons to defend themselves against the “right sector” banderites. basically everything before the invasion.

        And I am talking about the very same period. You seem unaware that Russia has been flooding the Donbass with weapons since 2014. Provided military assistance with intelligence, material and even personnel.

        Tell me: who shot down MH17 in 2014? With what weapon?
