Putin's Puppets Go Ballistic Over Fake Russian Slashing Video
https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-state-tv-goes-ballistic-over-ukraine-shock-video-showing-fake-killing-of-soldier?via=twitter_pageRussian casualties are rarely mentioned by Kremlin-controlled media. “Everything is covered in corpses of Ukrainian soldiers,” said host Vladimir Soloviev during Monday’s broadcast of his show, The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev. There was no condemnation of the cost in human lives wrought by their leader’s unprovoked war of aggression.
Instead, state media is aghast over a recently released shock video, in which an actress threatens Russian invaders with certain death. Though they appear unperturbed by the scenes of carnage out of Bucha or Mariupol, or the bombings of peaceful Ukrainian cities, the Kremlin’s propagandists were triggered by a fictitious portrayal of revenge against an actor playing the part of a Russian occupant.
In the video, the actress—dressed in an embroidered gown and a national Ukrainian headdress—threatens invading troops with retaliation for the deaths of war victims in Bucha, Irpin, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and Mariupol. She predicts they would never return home to Russia, and makes a hand motion pretending to slit the throat of a male actor with a sickle, off-camera.
The clip sent shockwaves throughout Russian airwaves.
