Commentary: Vladimir Putin disinformation machine is unrelenting toward Ukraine a year after invasion

No sooner had President Joe Biden arrived in Ukraine on Monday than the Russian state news agency Tass berated the surprise visit to “his ward Zelenskyy” and warned that Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet the same fate as others “who have sold their souls to the Americans.”

“Damned by their own people, needed by no one, forced to spend lavishly the money earned in America from betraying their countries on American lawyers,” Tass quoted Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying.

The Russian news site Sputnik badmouthed Biden’s “business trip,” and wondered whether son Hunter’s “consulting contracts are expiring?” The Russian site Ukraina.ru underscored how Biden “promised a lot of weapons and swore allegiance to the neo-Nazi regime.”
