Repost aus gegebenem Anlass: Schon in der Sowjetunion wurde das Weltkriegsgedenken zur militärischen Machtdemonstration missbraucht. Seit 2014 dient der 9. Mai auch als Inszenierung, um die Aggression gegen die Ukraine propagandistisch anzuheizen. inved.eu/insight/miss...

Eine TV-Kritik: Servus TV stellt die Frage "Die Kriegstreiber: Wer verhindert den Frieden in der Ukraine?" und erhält aus unserer Sicht fragwürdige Antworten. Die Ukraine wird auf der Karte in den Nationalfarben markiert, aber ohne Krim. inved.eu/insight/tv-k...

Russia is restoring Soviet symbolism. The FSB academy is renamed after Felix Dzerzhinsky, founder of the secret police, while memorials to Stalinist repression are removed or reshaped, signaling a broader effort to rewrite and legitimize the past. icds.ee/en/dzerzhins...

Servus fragt nach "Kriegstreibern", die Frieden in der Ukraine verhindern, und sucht Antworten unter anderem bei FPÖ (Fürst), Bündnis Wagenknecht (Lafontaine), Roger Köppel und dem russischen Botschafter - als negativer Höhepunkt dazu noch eine blaugelbe Ukraine ohne Krim🧵 inved.eu/insight/tv-k...

The Partidul Social Democrat (left wing) and the Alianța pentru Unirea Românilor (right-wing populist, nationalist, Eurosceptic) are coordinating to jointly submit a no-confidence motion in parliament in an effort to bring down Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan’s government (centre-right, pro-European).

After the death of the Iranian “supreme leader” Ali Khamenei, extremists close to the regime mourn his death. Fringe peace groups and parts of the radical left, as well as far-right extremists, show solidarity with the regime and seek to smear the Iranian opposition and downplay its relevance

At the moment, during these fast-developing events, it is very important to be extra careful with pictures, videos, and other kinds of information coming from the Middle East, especially from the Islamic Republic of Iran or other authoritarian states and fringe media outlets. #Iran #Disinformation

Russian state propaganda channels in an Austrian school. We need more resilience, awareness, and mechanisms to prevent such incidents, which show only the tip of the iceberg of countries that are not prepared at all for Russian subversion, propaganda, and infiltration.

Russia claims to commit to a possible temporary ceasefire agreement. In the past, Russia has not only violated such agreements but has also staged false-flag operations to blame the Ukrainian side.

The Mercosur-sceptical resolution in the European Parliament was supported mainly by votes from far-right, far-left, and Green politicians

Das INVED wurde vom ORF um Stellungnahme zum Thema Desinformation gebeten. Der Gründer Johannes Thun-Hohenstein @jth-vienna.bsky.social erklärt im Rahmen der Sendung Hohes Haus dazu (zur Sendung: on.orf.at/video/143006...):

The so-called ‘peace plan’ is likely of mixed origin. It includes phrasing that aligns with Russian propaganda talking points. It fails to hold the aggressor accountable. It also asks Ukraine to be more vulnerable in the future through military restrictions.

The recent Russian attack in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil, which claimed several lives, as well as strikes in other regions, shows once again that it is not only the south eastern areas that are severely affected by Russian aggression.

Prime Minister Robert Fico’s plan to abolish the holiday commemorating the 1989 resistance to the communist regime has sparked widespread criticism across society, including from businesses that remain closed in protest despite the loss of revenue.

In a recent interview, Donald Trump called Putin and Xi Jinping “tough", "smart" "strong leaders” who are “not to be toyed with.” He did not authorize the delivery of the Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine
