There is a notable degree of irony in Kremlin state media accusing others of warmongering. Particularly in 2026.

The Russian disinformation system continues to falsely claim that a NATO military base is ‘soon’ to be built near the Moldovan capital Chișinău. The Kremlin has recycled the narrative of an always imminent NATO military base as many times as it has been debunked by the Moldovan authorities.
Sanctions disrupted parts of Russia’s state media ecosystem. The Kremlin responded by investing more heavily in alternative channels, including online personalities.
Kremlin-affiliated outlets continue to flood the information space with disinformation aimed at deflecting responsibility for Russia’s drone strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Two months ago, the same outlets were openly arguing for the destruction of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
