A Year after Invasion, Russian Propaganda has gone Insane to Fuel Putins War | Foreign Correspondent

- On the eve of the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the propaganda war being waged by President Putin has become more extreme. Russian citizens are being repeatedly told that Ukraine is being run by LGBT Nazis and President Vlodomyr Zelensky is a drug addict and a sexual pervert. Subscribe: ab.co/3yqPOZ5
Independent Russian journalists forced to flee the country have found sanctuary in neighbouring Latvia where they are now broadcasting factual news about the war into their former homeland via CZcams. On Foreign Correspondent, reporter Eric Campbell, also on Russia’s banned list, travels to Latvia to meet the journalists who have taken great risks to fight the propaganda war.
In the capital Riga, Eric interviews Latvian President Egils Levits, one of Ukraine’s most ardent supporters. His government is allowing NATO troops to train in his country amidst fears Latvia too could suffer the same fate as Ukraine.

I'm german and i must admit, that i was against delivering weapons at the beginning of the war. In the meanwhile my opinion turned 180°. Ukraine needs every tank, every ammunition, every support.

"The most important thing is the truth. And credibility," says Putin. We'll all die laughing.
Whatever he says, simply go with the total opposite.
He lacks both
😂😂
You didnt die right? means you are laughing for nothing lol . The truth is far from what you like to hear..and the channels you see keep you happy by lies . Scores of Ukrainina troops are victims of western propaganda
Great, how about people check the NED or USAID websites to find out who are funding these organisations?
It's no wonder the Russians Kicked them out, they have zero to do with democracy or the will of the Russian people!
What a sad, tragic and infuriating situation.
Every time I see Putin's expressionless face,
I feel an explosive anger rising up inside me....
Thanks Eric for your incisive work.
Brilliant! you have been properly propagandised into a proper reaction of anger when confronted with images of the new "new Hitler". Big Brother approves.

Thank you Latvia for housing these wonderful journalists and the journalists for doing this important work.
those "wonderful" journalists were kicked out of latvia, cos they were supporting same troops who invaded ukraine. so much for 'good" russians and "independent" russian journalists.
They were crowdsourcing supplies to “their boys” in the Russian trenches in Ukraine. That is the opposite of their claims on this video. Latvia kicked them out, rightfully. At least TV Rain definitely did, not sure of the others…
@@raevj deservedly so. I hear they moved to netherlands. Should be kicked out of eu and they funding cut

Makes me want to travel to Latvia 🇱🇻
Wonderful people of Latvia I thank u for ur help and support for Ukraine 🇺🇦
The biggest russian independent journalist channel (TV Rain) was banned here since 2022, because of repeated propagandistic outbursts. If you're raised in authoritarian state, you can't help but show it sometimes, even if you wholeheartedly disagree with the regime.
Some blame Latvia for overreacting tho. Those outbursts ranged from not providing subtitles in Latvian (only official language) to showing the map with russian Crimea and patronising the russian army. If you look at it without too much context, it seems like not a big deal. But then again, 1. there were and are a lot of russians in Latvia, myself included, who can potentially misinterpret and use this information as leverage to the government's double standards or something. 2. TV Rain isn't a big deal, they're still operating
Thank you Latvia and all Baltic states for your fearless support of Ukraine! I cannot speak for all Germans, but for the majority of Germany: We stand by your side and will defend Europe against any russian aggression. And of course I thank our friends in oversea, like Australia, for supporting Europe's freedom! ;-)
Slava Ukraine!
Natürlich. Wer will schon in einen Gulag leben?

Latvia had revealed itself to be a hypocrite on free speech by canceling that Russian show for making a minor comment inconvenient to the Latvian establishment.

The final 30 seconds is chilling
I love and respect Latvia. Always wanted to visit. I’m very sad that they revoked TV Rain license tough. That was a enormous mistake and it’s a stain on their heroic efforts.
No it wasnt. Tv rain showed that they are against the war, but not against the russias imperialistic ideas. If it stinks the same, looks the same, form is the same, how is it not the same shit, just in diffrent hand?
I very much agree !!!
It would be a stain on a country like poland with 40 million people who are mostly poles. While I support tv rain, i understand that Latvia chose to do this. They are a small nation of just 1.8 million with 300k russians and right next to russia.
RuZZian propaganda must be handled accordingly. No reason to fuel internal RuZZian nationalism, look what happened in south Ukraine..
there was a reson to revoke license. So no stain.
Still will never forget Putin screaming _"Kyiv in Three Days!"_ 😂

Times are strange when Tucker Carlson can openly support Vladimir Putin with no push back from his Fox News audience or the Murdoch's.
@@biztrak4436 You are part of the problem. Take a long look in the at self. Russia may be the place you will feel more at home.
@@biztrak4436 Yet it is only Fox that keeps telling us that lying is fine, that no normal person would believe them.
Tucker Carlson does not want the US to spend US funds or equipment to support what he considers to be a European problem. He does not care about Ukraine winning this war. He is not impressed by the three nation agreement to defend Ukraine freedom (US, Russia, and England). I do not think Trump would support Ukraine either when push came to shove. He may have told Ukraine that they were not going to get into NATO in order to try and appease Putin, but only Putin knows what success Trump would have had. If Putin is committed to restoring the USSR, I think he would have proceeded knowing Trump would have trouble mobilizing European governments to stop Russia.
Politics is very strange. Isn't it interesting how the American liberals, so concerned about human right, inclusion and goodness in gneral, are the ones who all of a sudden scream in one voice: "Send weapons, widen the war, kill, kill ,kill!" while at the same time seeing themselves as the opposite of the Bush administration and its war in Iraq?
@biztrak4436 To say that Fox is better MSNBC or CNN is complete garbage. They're all equally as bad.
Thank you Latvia ! Viva Latvia & Ukraine !

Is it not possible to stop this insane russian propanda by hackers?
It's not unfortunately. Free speech is free speech. Just need to better educate people on how to source the information they're hearing. A simple example just for argument.... When Floyd Mayweather Jr says "I'm the greatest boxer of all time" you ask yourself is there bias there?
The likes of Julian Assange tried to stop the american propoganda machine and failed, so no one is going to stop the russian one. Unfortunately the masses are just too dumb to see through it.

"In Australia, parents take their children to transvestite sex shows..." um, are you sure about that? We teach our kids to be good people - to be honest, respectful and healthy. Considering the average life expectancy in Australia is the third highest in the world (just behind Singapore and Monaco) whilst the average Russian male won't life past the age of 65 due to rampant alcoholism and HIV infection - I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that perhaps Australia has a better moral compass that dear old Russia. You Russians might want to consider abandoning computers too - the inventor (Alan Turing) was gay, and who knows, using one might result in you suddenly discovering your suppressed sexuality.
Nicely said!
Yes I’m Australian and what I here about Russian you are all nuts
Well, we do. Sydney's Mardi Gras is considered a family event. I wouldn't call it a sex show myself but I can see how others might see it that way.
yesterday many celebrated Mardi Gras and there were lots of children - very, very young children watching almost naked men and women and some were wearing angel wings - would that mess up kids’ minds - probably will…so really it’s true what Russian TV claimed🔥
Once cannot take anything that comes out of the mouth of these Russian propagandists seriously. Unfortunately, most Russians don't seem to know that. It is mindboggling what crazy stuff Russians are brainwashed to believe.
The amount of approving and rejoicing comments of ordinary Russians under videos of the atrocities done to civilians in Ukraine were no less a shock for Ukrainians than the war itself.
We have somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time, without even knowing it, is still terrifying.
@@user-vg2dd2kl4w "murderer and drug dealer Sternenko", lmao the guy is more sane than anyone else, drug accusations are BASELESS and he killed a person in a self defense after THIRD assassination attempt on him (he was shot in previous ones lol". And that's just one thing of the list that I have read.
@@YuraK25
What nonsense is this? ALL his crimes have been proven. And he personally filmed the murder and posted it on the Internet. Then changed the readings 5 times. NO SELF-DEFENSE. He stabbed an unarmed man in the heart with a knife, inflicting a fatal wound on him, then ran after him for more than 100 meters. And finished him off with 3 blows to the heart already lying on the ground. Then he cut his own hand, blaming the murdered man for it. But the examination proved that he had inflicted the cuts on himself.
He was tried under Part 1 of Article 122, part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - intentional bodily injury of moderate severity and premeditated murder and sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Pressure was repeatedly ordered on the court by "patriot radicals", as a result of which the were released
There are dozens of crimes behind him. Since 2013. he was prosecuted for drug distribution. In 2015. Stepanenko, together with friends from the "Right Sector", kidnapped and tortured deputy of the Limansky village Council Sergei Shcherbich. After the abduction, the deputy was beaten with a baton and tortured with sophisticated methods - for example, fingers were crushed with pliers. Also, according to the victim, he was shot several times from a traumatic pistol in the back and legs. At the same time, Shcherbich was tied hand and foot. According to investigators, the abduction of the victim to the "Right Sector" was "ordered" by a competitor in the elections to the Kominternovsky district Council.
In 2015, a case of assault and robbery was also opened against Sternenko. Odessa resident - Stas V. wrote a statement to the police. According to the man, he was selling a car and went to a meeting with a girl who introduced herself as a customer. A jeep pulled up on the spot, several men jumped out of it, including Sternenko. They seized, took away the car, took away 6 thousand dollars, and threw it on the outskirts of Odessa, promising to shoot him at parting, holding a gun to the back of his head.
Activist Dmitry Rudoy told the Internet portal "Country" that Sergey Sternenko in 2014, as the head of the "Right Sector" in Odessa, was engaged in the protection of bars and kiosks. And that once, on his orders, the thugs even smashed a bar on Marseillaise Street, which competed with another bar that paid Sternenko for the "roof". And there were many such cases.
A dozen criminal cases have been opened against him, I include the court's verdict for murder - 7 years. But Sternenko continues to walk the streets of Ukraine.
@@user-vg2dd2kl4w the fact that you called him "stepanenko" once proves that you're a bot lmao, you are just literally copy pasting pre-prepared lines full of lies, thinking that a lot of text means you're right. His case is public, anyone can read it. Most of what you said is untrue. The fact that he killed a person in self-defense is undeniable. The fact that it was a third time he was attacked with intent to kill is unacceptable.
Death rate for ukrainian civilians is EXTREMELY low compared to other conflicts. USA kills more civilians in one bombing than russia does in 6 months

Thank you Slava Latvia !! Slava Ukraini !! 🇺🇦🦖✊
The problem is that so many in russia fall for all this propganda.
I don't know that they do, really. I think it's convenient for them to pretend to find all this nonsense convincing because it supports their pre-existing self-serving bigotries.
There's not knowing, and there's not wanting to know. Very different things, usually distinguished by the fact that genuine ignorance, unlike its convenient deliberate cousin, wants to learn.
Sadly yes.
It would not be that bothersome if the propaganda wasn't so bad..... basic stuff, not hard to debunk, but it gets traction, and an unreasonable devotion to the lie.
Much like the Jedi mind trick that only works on weak minded fools.

As an American, the thought of any political leader suggesting nuclear weapons is insane and dangerous! I support Ukraine in defending their home. I also sympathize with the Russian people who are against the war and fearful of their dictator’s government cracking down.

@@johnmcentegart007 Trump also threatened to destroy an incoming hurricane too. Hurricane won that battle unfortunately for the southeast of the US. I have to believe their are channels of people on both the US, Russian, and international stage who have constant dialog about nuclear threats of attack and other significant events such as those to prevent such disasters. Leaders use the political stage to lead their people and justify their actions on the world stage. Nothing new here.

@@johnmcentegart007 Truman did not destroy Japan. They refused to surrender during WW2; argument can be made that Japanese lives were saved since the US did not invade mainland Japan which would have also cost US lives and Soviet lives as they were also invading Japan allying with the US. North Korea only exists because of China to this day. They are irrelevant. The people who suffer most are it’s own people living under a dictator.

@@HarrisonHollers Who ordered the hit on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
President Harry S. Truman, warned by some of his advisers that any attempt to invade Japan would result in horrific American casualties, ordered that the new weapon be used to bring the war to a speedy end. On August 6, 1945, the American bomber Enola Gay dropped a five-ton bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Japan remains U.S. occupied to this day. Add Germany, Italy and most of Europe and you will begin to understand why Americans have no affordable healthcare and hundreds of thousands of people living in the streets and millions more in prison. The police in America are extremely dangerous and the criminal justice system needs urgent reform
Great reporting Australia!
Australia is a puppet state of the US without informed politicians or an independent foreign policy. They are putting a target on your back for US interests. The US has committed a terrorist attack on German energy supplies, industry and people so do expect any different for Australia.
Cheers! (Well I cant speak for the ABC, but as an Aussie I'll cop the complement lol)
Nope this is just as full of propaganda as any other media.
Our media in Australia lies as well.
ABC. First time I have ever heard them tell the truth in a news report. EVER.
This is eye opening
"Truethfulness is the foundation of all human virtues." This statement being true, what of those who knowingly keep telling lies? They definitely are the worst and most dangerous animals.
Imagine the Russian people's lives a year or two from now when the sanctions repercussions and soldiers death tolls are realized. It was Putin that ordered the invasion of a sovereign Ukraine, the West chose not to defend them when Crimea was annexed and this is the mess we're trying to clean up. I support the use of fighter jets and any other weapons to Ukraine, otherwise more lives will be lost because of the extended invasion.
Agreed, the west should of helped sooner, but as they say better late than never.
You are wasting your time if you are still expecting sanctions to have any stupid impact on Russia, Russia is a great country and can’t be toy with by the west. Western Sanction will hurt Western countries than it will ever hurt Russia. Did you ever think of what will be left of Ukraine and her people in the next 2 to 3 years?? You guys have no clue that Ukraine has been sent to Stone Age and in 2 years time there will be nothing left that’s if there will still be Ukraine.
We all remember very well how the West defended Yugoslavia, 37,000 civilians died at the hands of your defenders. We remember how you defended Iraq, 1.3 million Iraqi civilians died at the hands of your defenders. So it’s better to do without your protection, there will be fewer victims ...

TVRain lost their Latvian broadcast licence in months. They worked in Russia before for more than a decade before.
Hell yeah! That's not only tenacious but hazardous to one's health.
They lost license for many cases of pro russian prpaganda cases on the air.
Some of TV Rain presenters have welcome the annexation of Crimea, and Crimea appeared as part of Russia in their maps while they were working in Latvia. In the documentary, the opinion of the Latvian side was represented with just two sentences by President of Latvia. Looked like whitewashing of TV Rain.
Sergey Lavrov, Russia's top diplomat use that kinda propaganda in New Delhi, India. And then the crowd mockingly laughed at him. An audience even shouted 'Come on'. He seemed surprised lol. I think he never got that kind of reaction in Russia.
I saw a clip of that. It was on mainstream TV here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. It was brilliant. Well done India.
He must have momentarily forgotten that he was outside of Russia and was clearly surprised that the audience didn't readily accept his automatic lies.
Herman Munster 😅
yeah that was Epic
SLAVA RÚSSIA FROM 🇧🇷 BRAZIL!! ❤️ your lies are not bought by the majority of the world. That’s why Africa great part of Latin America, Asia and Middle East are with Russia. Your lies, invasions and assassinations have its days numbered.
Amazing, Latvia!
These people are the ones who have balls, knows what injustice is and most importantly knowing the value of freedom. Hats off to them ...
Even Putin himself found it hard to believe his own ridiculous propagandas.
I cannot believe that Men are allowed to marry Men, and likewise with women? Whats next, Kids, Animals?
I mean seriously, Putin has a point and the West (NATO) are completely corrupt Human Rights Abusers on a daily basis, so who gets to be the MORAL arbitrator for humanity? NATO? I hope not!
I guess russian must be running television on some sort of gas with various leaks so all nationals gotten high.
Even Biden himself found it had to believe his own ridiculous propagandas.
Really? Do you believe you're a liar?
😅😅😅true, it's almost satire😅😅😅
Putin: "Truth is our most important weapon." Orwell's 1984 - "Ignorance is Strength" "Freedom is Slavery" "War is Peace"
Tell those to Nato Warmongers who always see Russia as threat, but can't agree Minsk agreement.
Peace was never a option for west, they divide and rule.
They divided India Pakistan, Iraq Saudi, kososvo Serbia, Yugoslavia, and propaganda of human right violation... where it is in Libya, Afghanistan... they get dusted.
Now go back again if u can, to stop that.
@@humanityfriend3869 Do catch up, in case you missed it, Russia invaded Ukraine last year. Not NATO. Russia has bombed civilian buildings, schools, hospitals, tortured and raped, and left mass graves everywhere. Not NATO. Russia sees NATO as a threat and pulled the trigger. Now Putin is shitting it.
@@humanityfriend3869 why doesn’t Russia fight Poland then? Huh? Huh? Hello? 😂🤣😂 Ukraine was not in NATO and THIS IS THE RESULT! Divide ? Like Russia does with Brexit and Trump and and and….
@@_c_y_p_3 tell me why Nato expanded to Russia border ,,, huh huh ha ha huh???? Because they are dogs who come to fight together a lion.
Really liked that you involved "Gaismas pils'' at 6:00. Proud to be Latvian
Excellent reporting. Good luck to TV Rain!
We appreciate Baltic countries support so much, they do everything they can, they do understand what russian invasion means.
ABC thank you for your work!
Very informative reporting by ABC. Serial lies and propaganda by FOX, Russian state TV, etc needs to be exposed for what it is.
Bloody 'ell this is great quality content for youtube. The last time i saw anything of this standard was back in the golden age of television.
It's the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) - a national news service
When the ABC is at its best, its *very* good, although a decade of the former govt (LNP) trying to strip its funding and pack its management with political henchmen have left it a shadow of its former glory. Still 4 Corners and Foreign Correspondent are probably some of the best investigative journalism in the world. Up there with the best of the BBC even)
Thank You brave Latvia and all Russian journalists working to spread the truth to preserve freedom.
Inspiring. Let's all launch together.
Great job Latvia….respect!
The Russian propaganda sounds identical to that of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a national disgrace
You are insane. Enjoy the fallout when it comes.
Willing to bet that Ruzzians funded her campaign? 🤦🏼♂️🇺🇦🌻🇨🇦
@@jessehachey2732 You actually believe that ? That is sad.
You people can't handle the truth. Go watch Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, Kim Iversen, Alexander Mercouris, Brian Berlectic's The New Atlas Patrick Lancaster, Anne Laure-Bonnel to get a handle on reality. Not this government sponsored propaganda.
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 🤣 you’ve instantly lost credibility by even mentioning Lancaster 🙄🤦🏼♂️What a joke!
This shit is HILARIOUS. Every last one of them would be melted if they EVER fired on America 😂
Good on you Italy 🇮🇹 for taking Solovyov villas for Ukraine.
Latvia seems like a progressive country with good people and a peaceful outlook. I'd like to visit some day.
You become pretty resiliant under so many years in Russian influence
Мирным? Они дискриминируют русское население и постоянно призывают у действиям против России, какие они мирные после такого?
@17:00
Are the propagandist’s lives or Putin’s directly affected by a gay couple living 100s-1000s miles away? I don’t understand why some random person’s negative opinion of another person’s life choice matters. If someone doesn’t like purple, should someone that loves purple shame them? If my neighbor drinks beer but I don’t drink beer, should I ridicule him/her? Nobody is being forced to drink beer wearing purple! Here in the US, the term “Stay in your lane” is often used. Is it greed? Boredom? Pure spitefulness?
Fox “News” channel seems to be pushing Russian state Tv-like programming/propaganda and some eat it up and believe their story lines are facts. Bottom line: I’m so thankful Biden is our President because he’s dedicated to democracy. Not money, not popularity but fairness and equality.
Thank you Latvia and real Russian journalists!
Геи мешают тогда обществу начинают навязывать такое поведение. В 20 лет назад в России большинству было все равно есть геи или нет. Была даже группа состоящая из двух девушек, которые говорили что они любят друг друга, они выступали по всему миру.
Lovely to see real journalism
It's hard to understand how any country in the 21st-century could go as batsheet crazy as Russia has done.
Поменьше смотри западную пропаганду.
Proud of Latvia!
Putin has such little man vibes.
It's like the movie "Downfall".
Even the Chinese are taller than baby-man Putin.
When I think about it Xi look taller than putin
He wears heels so.👠
You are insulting shorter people by trying to compare Putin to them.
Peace for Ukraine, peace for Europe and HUY VOYNE
"The most important thing is the truth. And credibility" says Putin.... Okay we just take your word for it do we?
Russia has already lost the war however, the country and its leadership just cant accept that fact. The problem is they will keep fighting a lost cause until Ukraine pushes them back within their boarders and takes back Crimea and the Donbas regions lost in 2014.
Yep, that's what it looks like now. And we can do it. NATO stronger than ever thanks to madman Putin.
Dream on! 😂
@@chrisstone5786 Strong allies and democracy wins over authoritarian totalitarian regimes everytime. 20th century proves that. Especially when the leader has gone mad like Putin.
Dreamer
@@chrisstone5786Aww worried russkibot
I'm always fascinated (and concerned) when people still go full comic book super villain these days.
The priest, so praying it all b true
People make the mistake that Russia is a civilized 1st world country .
@@Crashed131963 Why ?
@@miroslavakostic your question here and your other comments prove John's point. Ignorance is bliss, after all; you must be pretty happy.
California alone has a bigger economy than Russia and Belarus combined lol
This is an excellent report, well worth watching!
Insanity. May their hearts be melted.
Thank you for the reporting, it was excellent to watch. I could feel the exhaust of the russian journalists in latvia by the end of the video. I hope the war can end soon but that reality feels far away.
They are doing a good job, but I think they should save their strength for the rebuilding after the war. Russia is going to be a real mess then and we will need them to avoid a Putin v2 and history repeating in another 30 years.
Not so far away. Russia will have this all wrapped up by August or September.
@@yeoldbandicoot548 I'm sure I remember hearing that it was supposed to be wrapped up last Feb though, right?
@@yeoldbandicoot548 Yeah like they will take Kyiv in 3 days. Not one objective and lost 3 major battles.
@@yeoldbandicoot548 I think The English said the same thing about Ireland but they had to pull out after 800 years .
You are amazing people we need more like you. Save ukraine and the innocent russians under his control!
Great video 👍
How wild is it to see people smiling, singing and hoping for nuclear annihilation?
