Russia is ashamed to admit new defeats against Ukraine
Recently, it became known that a Ukrainian F-16 pilot managed to destroy an enemy Su-34 fighter jet.
Russia is on the offensive in Ukraine, but this incident can be seen as a serious failure, because Su-34s are the planes that Russia uses to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure, geopolitical analyst Iryna Zukerman, head of Scarab Rising, comments on this event.
Given the fact that this is a Western American-made fighter jet, Russian propagandists began to blame their new loss not so much on Ukraine as on its allies, primarily the United States.
In this way, the Russians do not just mourn the destruction of another Su-34, but also actively incite anti-American sentiment.
They want to prove that Ukraine is just a proxy for the CIA/MI6, etc., which are directly attacking Russia with their equipment, Iryna Zukerman explains.
