The level of reality distorsion by Russian official media is amazing.
This article at RIA Novosti claims that Ukrainians suffer from the Stockholm syndrome at the hands of its government that has been keeping them hostage for years.
(Probably since 2014 when they deposed a russian puppet president, and subsequently held free elections the last one voting 73% for Zellensky; the previous one, Poroshenko in 2014 got 55%; they are side by side now against the Russian invasion).
In Western Europe you can only access this media through a VPN because of sanctions.I am against censorship in general. But in this case, the Kremlin’s view is so odd that its exposure would do more good than harm.
“How to cure Ukrainians from Stockholm syndrome”

“…the former country is turning into a Walking Field, where gangs, organized crime groups, terrorist groups and individual maniacs armed to the teeth are operating. Anarchy is the mother of order, everything is exactly like a hundred years ago. And at the head of this criminal parade is a gang of “drug addicts and neo-Nazis” who literally took their population hostage. The horror is that many Ukrainians are ready to defend this gang and sacrifice their lives for it.”
“The fact is that the people of Ukraine were taken hostage by the Kiev junta many years ago. For many years he has been told that, despite the African standard of living, he lives in “Europe”. That Russia, which has always regularly supplied him with gas, electricity and everything that is needed, is the main enemy, and the sun rises in the West. For many years they have been brainwashed and forced to speak Move.
Well, the result is obvious. Ukrainians have fully grasped the “Stockholm Syndrome”. It usually turns on for hostages taken by terrorists. They are scared, hurt, they are beaten, threatened. In order not to go crazy, a person turns on a defense mechanism – he convinces himself that the terrorist is right. Sympathizes with him.”
