Stickers with the slogan ““Russia is not my enemy” have appeared in Romania, France, and Italy.

[…]

“Russia has launched the propaganda campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy,’ which has reached Romania. Stickers with this message are appearing in cities as part of the Kremlin’s hybrid campaign aimed at creating the illusion of a ‘peaceful partnership.’ Through such tools of influence, Russia seeks to portray itself as a peacemaker, downplay its own crimes, and sow discord within European societies,” the statement by the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said.

[…]

The Center added that the purpose of the campaign is to undermine citizens’ trust in the rule of law and democratic institutions in their countries, cast doubt on the Euro-Atlantic course, and discredit support for Ukraine.

[…]

Russia has significantly intensified hybrid attacks on the EU’s critical infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

    Russia is like Europe’s only enemy. No one else is fucking up Europe like Russia is, and in every country they operate.

    Russia is the enemy of any decent person.

      We should include some others, particularly China. It may pursue a different warfare strategy, but it’s not a friend.

        And if course, who could forget the United States, where the current El Presidente seems to not have much of a strategy at all, warfare or otherwise.

      We have plenty of enemies within that are significantly worse than Russia. The Russian government is just smart in working together with those, but they would not disappear if Russia would stop their support.

        Russia is literally invading European countries. No one else in Europe is worse than them towards Europe.

          They are occupying a small part of Ukraine and bombing their cities. This is a much smaller threat than some openly fascist parties in power of entire EU countries.
