This fact should come as no surprise. Putin and the Kremlin have pushed themselves in a corner, while also sliding into an abyss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This abyss has no bottom. Putin and his propagandists have denied Ukraine\u2019s very right to exist, questioned its survival in the next two years(opens in a new tab), dehumanised Ukrainians, incited genocide, denied or legitimised countless atrocities by Russian forces, and launched a systematic attempt to destroy Ukraine\u2019s economy, agriculture, resources and civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Look at \u2018responsible Russia\u2019 \u2013 no nuclear strike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Glossing over the retreat of Russian forces to defensive positions, Putin used the opportunity to shift the focus onto \u2018responsible Russia\u2019. He claimed, for example, that Russia would not be the first to use nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps the world was supposed to be grateful to Putin, but it\u2019s another classic manipulative trick wrapped in disinformation: create the problem with nuclear sabre-rattling, talk it up, pollute all information spaces with it, and hope that everybody will tremble and beg for lower tensions. Then gracefully announce: no first use of nukes.

The disagreement between Belgrade and Pristina on car plates in Northern Kosovo is well-known and negotiations are long-running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">that \u2018the West\u2019 is promoting the current crisis and covertly supporting Pristina in its quest to take over all northern Kosovo municipalities where ethnic Serbs live. Botsan-Kharchenko said the West is using this crisis to scare Serbs and the \u2018Serbian world\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then on 11 December, Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova wrote on her telegram account(opens in a new tab) that the escalating tensions over the weekend \u2018were planned\u2019 by the West. These comments came in response to a statement by Serbian PM Ana Brnabi\u0107 who claimed \u2018Serbia was on the brink of war because of Kosovo\u2019s prime minister and due to the \u201cinaction\u201d of the EU\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent days, the Kremlin ecosystem flooded Telegram and Twitter with messages and videos claiming Serbia was mobilising(opens in a new tab) for an immediate intervention in Kosovo. These threads also included alleged crimes against Kosovo Serbs by KFOR personnel(opens in a new tab) and the police forces of Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Russian state TV kicked into gear. RT and subsidiaries in several languages devoted huge attention to the latest events in Kosovo with narratives blaming both the EU and NATO for ongoing tensions, even suggesting that the US is trying to provoke Serbia into a military operation. Zakharova also proposed a linkage between the Minsk agreements and the Pristina-Belgrade Dialogue. In the eyes of Moscow this is a d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, i.e. blaming the West and especially the EU for \u2018fake\u2019 negotiations to bolster the side they support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Imagine if violent, physical clashes could develop and catchy TV-pictures could portray \u2018the West\u2019 oppressing and betraying the Serbs, as it always does\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/pro-kremlin-propaganda-running-out-of-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/PROPAGANDA-PRO-KREMLIN-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"93\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/pro-kremlin-propaganda-running-out-of-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pro-Kremlin Propaganda running out of Gas<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cancel Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Putin\u2019s end-of the-year marathon press conference in Moscow has become a tradition during the past decade. It is popular among Russian journalists. Over the years, the event has come to include satellite links to all corners of Russia where assembled (selected) citizens would ask Putin (prepared) questions. But not this year<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These events or rather shows are carefully choreographed substitutes for proper press conferences with critical media; this Putin does not engage in. In them, Putin sits for hours, flashes cherry-picked economic statistics, dishes out bons mots, and show compassion for ordinary people . A few questions from free media outlets create the illusion of a free press. The overall picture is always of a good Czar loving his people and protecting his country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">in a brief message that the event will not happen before the New Year. Maybe Putin will find time for the press later during his foreign visits, where press engagement are kept at a minimum. But this announcement could be sign of fear of meeting the people or journalists asking about their economy, job prospects, or care for mobilised soldiers. When in doubt, cancel the appearance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2018Must do\u2019 turns into \u2018maybe\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another public appearance is also missing(opens in a new tab): the head of state\u2019s address to the Federal Assembly. This address is required by the Russian constitution. So it is not a \u2018want to do\u2019 but a \u2018must do\u2019 event. The Federal Assembly and wider parliament structures in Russia are safe places for Putin where all possible manipulation and disinformation can be freely aired without opposition or criticism. Let\u2019s see if this event comes later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/euvsdisinfo.eu\/es\/el-abc-del-kremlin-cambiar-el-foco-de-atencion-culpar-a-otros-cancelar-actos\/#\">EUvsDisinfo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week the Kremlin performed a couple of well-known tricks from its propagandist playbook.
