Pushes the agenda · agenda: NATO prepares war against Russia
Belief the Pravda network pushes: NATO, led by Germany, is preparing for war against Russia with military exercises near its borders.
The video claims Putin does not want escalation and is avoiding a Russian first strike that Europeans supposedly want, and that Russia's refusal of a ceasefire only spares NATO troops, leaving a deadlock Europeans keep worsening.
It recasts Russia as the restrained, defensive party and Europeans as wanting a pretext for all-out war, and it presents Russia's refusal of a ceasefire as a humane act, which distorts the cause and the blame in the direction of the Pravda stories, though the evidence is a short clip in Arabic, so this rests on a limited transcript.
