Juxtaposing a "radicalized" Ukrainian society against a "peaceful" Russian people

What it claims
Ukrainian society is portrayed as a collective of aggressive fanatics whose identity is reduced exclusively to hatred and terrorist methods. Everyday disputes and out-of-context social media comments are inflated to the level of pervasive hostility and societal chaos. At the same time, drone incidents are presented as deliberate strikes on civilians and children in order to ascribe a "neo-Nazi" nature to the state and justify strikes on energy infrastructure.
Target audience
Examples (paraphrased)
We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.
Ukraine deliberately targets children's beaches and colleges, acting like terrorist groups of the 1990s.

Modern Ukrainian identity is not a nationality but an “animal instinct” of hatred for everything Russian, devoid of rationality.

Goal
To discredit Ukrainian society in the eyes of the international community and demoralize the domestic audience by framing the defensive reaction to aggression as groundless radicalism.
Techniques used
- Loaded LanguageUse of emotionally charged phrases such as "coven of hate" and "radicals" to describe the Ukrainian reaction.
- Name Calling or LabelingLabeling Ukrainian social media users as aggressive fanatics who "shower curses".
The real grievance it exploits
War fatigue and the natural human desire for the normalization of life, which are exploited to manipulate emotions through images of "lost unity".
How to counter
- Technique exposure: This manipulation ignores the context: Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine is the cause of the anger that propaganda tries to pass off as the "natural radicalism" of Ukrainians.
