Latest news
Russia has organized a screening of the propaganda film "Blockade Diary" in Equatorial Guinea in an effort to create an emotional backdrop for recruiting into its army.
According to Ukrinform, the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) under Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council announced this on Facebook.
"In the capital of Equatorial Guinea, Malabo, Russia organized a screening of the propaganda film "Blockade Diary,' dedicated to the 'feat of Leningrad.'
The CCD noted that this audience choice is not accidental, as young men are the primary target group for recruiting mercenaries into the Russian army.
Under the cover of cultural diplomacy, they spread propaganda, establish contacts, and test the loyalty of potential recruits," the CCD said.
