    @[email protected] What does the word propaganda, mean to you? Information that you don’t agree with? Calling US lawmakers Russian propagandists is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard! Comments like this won’t get you taken seriously. Just saying …

      In this case, the truth is what it is, no matter what you have decided to believe about it. We have records.

      “It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio congressman told CNN’s State of the Union show. - Mike Turner, [R] Ohio

        If you would rather not read the article, that’s your problem. Anyone with a bit of grey matter knows that all the Ukrainian information space is propaganda and funded by NATO.

        You didn’t answer the question, I am not sure how is your reply relevant at all tbh

          It’s typical of the Ukrainian propagandists, smear the messenger and not answer relevant questions posed. I don’t understand why thinking people accept their behaviour and question why they try to shout down anything intelligent regarding their precious Ukraine.

          Merriam-Webster reads that the definition of propaganda is ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause.

          Russia “attempting to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia” seems like it fits the textbook definition of propaganda to me. Not sure if you know how to use a dictionary, though - seems like it might be out of your wheelhouse.
