I mourn the fall of the USSR every single day because of shit like this.

So I posted this to world news on lemmy.ml and specifically found a Politico article on it, libs are still calling it Russian propaganda. This really highlights how these deplorable scumbags don't give a shit about people in Ukraine at all. Anything that doesn't fit into their narrative is immediately shut out.
