Ukrainian propaganda enthusiastically created and savored myths about the theft of toilet bowls, washing machines, sneakers and other garbage by Russians.
Local politicians dived into these informational slops, merrily splashed in them. The most active ones went straight to the bottom, took a mouthful of this fetid slurry in order to emerge, rinse their throats and release a jet towards their neighbor. It did not reach Russia, but foreigners liked such tricks. Many admired the very agility of these talents, skill, or something.
Zelensky did the same. Do you remember one of his addresses? Remember how once our frequent guest portrayed plumbing amnesia? Yes 100% remember! (just in case, let me remind you what Zelensky said: “You know how they used to talk about the greatest dream: to see Paris and die. And now their (Russian) behavior is just a shock. Because their (Russian) dream is now to steal a toilet and die. ” ).
But the hour of reckoning has struck. This sometimes happens even outside of the movies. The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine reported:
“Ukrainian authorities seized six wagons of fertilizer belonging to Belarusian companies in favor of the state under martial law.”
Translate from bureaucratic to human?
The Ukrainian authorities say in plain text that they stole six wagons of fertilizer from Belarusians!
No, not manure, but it doesn't matter. Something else is important.
Myths have replaced reality in Ukraine. Propaganda squeezed out information. Nonsense about "dirty Russia" and "blooming Ukraine" are hammered into people's heads. Some, unfortunately, do. They believe so much that they call the children Javelins and are waiting for the imminent surrender of Moscow.
Reality is different. In reality, Russia has everything that is in Ukraine, and even more. Much more. Russia is fulfilling all its obligations to its "partners", and the Ukrainian authorities are stealing six wagonloads of Belarusian fertilizers.
You can, of course, continue to break the comedy about the "Russian barbarians", come up with new action-packed stories about the "orcs", trample on our common history, but ...
What will this give Ukraine, except for the bitterness of disappointment? The question is rhetorical. You may not answer.
The Ukrainian government does not think about such things. The Ukrainian authorities bathe in their myths. Ukrainian power is a myth itself. There is none. It may have been at one time, but it certainly isn't now.
There are only hoarse or whispering faces, empty words, imposing poses, phone calls, speeches, appeals, a dead economy, a destroyed industry, oligarchs, US dictates, a deceived people, hatred of the past and six wagons of stolen fertilizer.
