If it's presented without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence.

For starters a witness swears an oath, lying under oath can land you in legal hot water. You'd have to tell some crazy libelous lies on Tucker Carlson to get in trouble.

It works in courts, not in propaganda shows with Russian propaganda connections.

>In past interviews, she accused Presidential Office chief Andriy Yermak of engaging in “magic rituals” involving cemeteries and “dead water,” while claiming she feared for her life because of him – again without providing evidence.
Ah the classic russian bogeyman, "satanists", if you don't have anything to smear someone just say they are satanists doing black magic rituals etc etc

Russia is in full retreat. Their army shattered and armor left burning. There is a reason we are seeing a spike in pro Russian propaganda.

Why would Russia losing cause an increase in pro-Russian propaganda?
Wouldn't they divert resources to helping the failing war effort?
Seems an obvious strategic choice

Propaganda is way cheaper and a lot faster. And they're probably trying both.

Divert what resources? Russia has been at full tilt for 4+ years. The only thing they haven't done is full conscription, but they can't do that because it will topple the government.
Seems dear Vova is in a bit of a pickle...

You can do both, of course. And a losing Russia has even more use for increasing pro-Russian propaganda since it can drown out losses (just a few isolated setbacks in our advance!) muddy the waters (really, were those actually losses?) and directly "refute" them (they weren't losses! we're consolidating/regrouping for another attack).
Russia knows (insofar as their high command seems to know *anything*) that one of the key pillars of Ukrainian resistance is Western support, so anything that can attack THAT in any way or form is more valuable than another 5, 10 or 100 guys on their front line.
Indeed, propaganda and psyops has arguably been one of Russia's strongest points. Not just over the whole war, but over the past few decades. So I ask you, why would the divert resources away from one of the efforts that has actually been *successful*?

Interesting that she's being interviewed by a guy who has a show in Russia and just so happens to come out right when Russia is at its weakest

This woman was fired from spokesman job in 2021. How she can know what happened in 2022? Its bullshit. Also this woman doesnt live in Ukraine since beginning of the war and she is famous for talking shit about zelensky for many years.

Mendel was fired after a series of her actions and statements, when it became clear to everyone that she was completely mentally inadequate.

Even if true, what's the issue? I am seriously asking, maybe someone gives a good reason. From my point of view, it was four years ago, and even if they were considering, they didn't do it.
