The author wrote that, according to The New York Times, Trump’s talks on Ukraine had come to include a multibillion-dollar deal involving Lukoil’s foreign assets.

The author wrote that pro-Kremlin commentators such as Tucker often described Russia as Europe’s largest economy, but argued that at market exchange rates Germany, the UK and France were much larger, while Italy was roughly comparable in size.

A post said Finnish supporters at a Finland–Belarus football match in Finland sang a vulgar anti-Vladimir Putin chant and displayed a large banner showing an owl clutching a caricature of Alexander Lukashenko as an insect. It added that some fans waved Belarusian opposition flags and ended with an unfinished statement that the match “should never have…” https://t.co/IeOVHqq3EJ #Football #Finland #Belarus #FI #BY

The author claimed that Ukraine had obtained a Russian plan to target energy and water infrastructure this winter with up to 1,000 missiles, drones and bombs.

The author wrote that, in the four weeks after the Skripal poisoning, Russian state-controlled RT and Sputnik had promoted 138 separate, often contradictory narratives across 735 articles.

The author said the Russian opposition had proposed that Trump lift sanctions in exchange for the release of Russian political prisoners, and argued that the proposal would undermine efforts to bring about meaningful change in Russia. #Россия #Политика #Оппозиция #RU

Surely, now that the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act has been approved by both the Senate and the House, Trump will impose tougher sanctions on Russia and countries that buy its fossil fuels? Well, according to The Atlantic, he now wants to partially lift sanctions in https://t.co/z5GWDOEE8B #Sanctions #Russia #Trump #RU #US

So, the US is now doing "regime changes" in Europe. It took Trump only year and a half to destroy all American soft power and alienate all of its allies. #USPolitics #SoftPower #RegimeChange #US #EU

The "Russia is not my enemy" was a great campaign in terms of research. By scraping all these posts, analyzing their followers, and turning it into a visualization, we now have a very good and clear image of the pro-Kremlin network operating on this platform. #RussiaIsNotMyEnemy #ProKremlin #NetworkAnalysis #RU

Moscow will spend $202 billion on defense next year, 27% more than was initially planned. Does this look like a country preparing for peace? #Russia #DefenseSpending #MilitaryPreparedness #RU

Look, this is blatant platform manipulation and violation of Terms of Service. Why is X so bad at detecting it? There was a real effort to fight bots and manipulation before @nikitabier left, but now it looks as if this shit is simply allowed. Maybe it’s by design. #PlatformManipulation #TermsOfService #FightBots #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.
