If sanctions ‘do not work’, as FIMI outlets frequently claim, Moscow has built an impressive infrastructure to avoid them.

SPIEF was designed to showcase Russia’s economic strength.
Increasingly, it highlights Russia’s economic constraints.
Sanctions, labour shortages, inflation, technology access, alternative payment systems, shadow fleets.
A curious list of topics for an economy supposedly ‘unaffected by external pressure’

The Kremlin continues to portray legitimate Ukrainian strikes on Russian military infrastructure as ‘terrorism’. The accusation rings hollow coming from a regime that has spent the past 1,570 days carrying out brutal, indiscriminate strikes against Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Notice how Kremlin messaging about ‘foreign interference’ in neighbouring countries often arrives immediately before discussions about EU partnerships, election monitoring, or democratic reforms?

The leadership of the Russian Federation has already demonstrated it can do precisely that all by itself.

Kremlin narratives frequently ask why Ukraine continues to resist.
They spend considerably less time discussing why Russia continues its invasion.

Kremlin-affiliated outlets, which routinely publish Russian nuclear threats aimed at European cities, continue to portray increased European defence for deterrence as pointless and wasteful, dismissing the threat posed by Russia as a ‘non-existent pretext’.

France intercepts a sanctioned tanker linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. The Kremlin calls it ‘unlawful’ and ‘piracy’.
A peculiar argument from a network built around false flags, sanctions evasion, opaque ownership structures, and efforts to circumvent international restrictions.

Russia, never shy about presenting itself as an authority on free and fair elections despite a lack of first hand experience, continues to claim it has identified ‘fundamental violations’ in Armenia's electoral process. As ever, the evidence to back their allegations remains entirely absent.

On 23 June this year, the Center for Countering Disinformation, in collaboration with the @eu_eeas , will publish an analytical report regarding russian information threats aimed at Ukraine's European future.
On this day in 2022, Ukraine was granted EU candidate status.

In Kremlin outlets, the shadow fleet is often discussed as though it were a simple shipping story.
It is primarily a sanctions-evasion story.

To put it simply: sanctions evasion and systematic threats against thethe EU would not be the Kremlin’s strategic priorities if sanctions were indeed ‘ineffective’, as Kremlin propaganda likes to claim.

Citing zero evidence, an unnamed fictitious source with extraordinary levels of access, and a perpetrator whose name is conveniently not disclosed, Kremlin propagandists continue their disinformation campaign to frame Ukraine as ‘immensely corrupt’, a campaign designed to discredit Ukraine’s leadership and weaken international support.

The more Russia talks about sanctions – at economic forums and in state outlets – the less convincing ‘sanctions don’t matter’ sounds.

Today marks the 1,569th day of Russia's brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin’s so called ‘3-day special military operation’ has now lasted longer than World War I. Through unimaginable heroism, hardship and sacrifice, Ukraine remains unbroken.

The Kremlin’s definition of ‘peace’ often appears to involve Ukraine accepting the consequences of Russian aggression.
Not everyone shares that definition.

Enough is enough. Time for a ceasefire now.
This week all UN Security Council members—except one—were united in calling for a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. As did Ukraine.
Russia remains the only obstacle to peace. We urge it to abide by UNSC members' call. Now.

According to Transparency International’s 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, Russia ranks 154th out of 180 countries, 49 places below Ukraine and 82 below the lowest-ranked EU member state.
The index is worth keeping in mind when assessing the credibility of Russia’s endless corruption accusations directed against Ukraine and EU member states.

An interesting detail of Moscow’s framing of EU sanctions is that they are described simultaneously asineffective, devastating to Europe, and desperately in need of removal.

With the choice of the Armenian people not to its liking, the Kremlin has chosen to completely deny their agency and instead baselessly accuse ‘the West’ of interfering in an election that Russia itself has tried to influence by every means at its disposal.
