Meantime russia’s state outlets last weeks are pushing narratives “eu is gonna to freeze and stink this winter” [1]. Also in russian social networks appeared a short reel allegedly filmed by Gasprom with a song “the winter will be long” [2] showing a winter landscapes interleaving with EU flags.

All those narratives are focusing to show: this as an our answer on sanctions from EU so we are going to punish EU by turning off a gas pipe.

Personally I see all that as a big campaign of propaganda. Russia is abusing democracy mechanisms to achieve own benefits.
