| #1 Cope Harder. The Russians aren't even trying at plausible disinformation. Zaluzhny had appeared multiple times since early May. Both in person and video conferencing. Not a surprise that he does not do personal appearances as the counteroffensive is getting under way. Today: In fresh video, CinC Zaluzhnyi debunks Russian fakes on his “injury,” “death” This or he died with the hundreds of NATO generals in the underground bunker 500 feet below ground. |
