The media and the Russian authorities advance new arguments, for the Russian population, that Kiev experienced, among other things, bacteriological weapons in Secret laboratories financed by Washington.

As the Russian army progresses in Ukraine, the official communication adapts and reinvents, with a priority target the Russian public, which could be seized with a doubt before the duration of the operation or its motivations .
After having suggested that the Ukrainian army would be able to fight, the media and the authorities of the country now accuse the “nationalists” to shelter behind the civilians or to fire them knowingly, or to send to The death of “zombified teenagers”. Friday, March 5, during a meeting with air hostesses, President Vladimir Putin evoked, for his part, the presence of fighters from the Middle East and insured that the Ukrainians opposed to the war were “executed” by Theirs.
The motivations to trigger the “special military operation” are now the subject of new justifications from these official or quasi official sources. “Denazification”, “demilitarization” or “release” of Ukraine are still in the center of the speech, but add other themes which, a posteriori, serve to demonstrate the accuracy of the decision taken by the chief of the Kremlin .
First argument, the defensive and inevitable nature of the Russian attack. On March 3, the President of Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian Parliament, insured on television that the operation had “saved hundreds of thousands of lives”. “If we had not launched it, the next day, NATO would have attacked, using the neonazis”, according to Viatcheslav Volodine. The Russian media took over this theory, Monday, March 7, after the discovery, in the Donetsk region of a computer belonging to the Ukrainian ukrainian group right, object of the full attention of the Russian media since 2014. This computer comprising “NATO markings” would have unveiled the plans for a donbass invasion, but also from Crimea, scheduled for March 8th.
Other threat that Russian intervention has made it possible to dismiss, that of nuclear power. The Russian President has repeatedly mentioned, in vague terms, the hypothesis of a danger in this field after a speech in which the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky wondered on February 19, on the validity of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. This agreement led Kiev to restore his Soviet nuclear arsenal in return for a guarantee of his borders by Moscow.
“Developing a dirty bomb”
To believe the Russian press, the Ukrainian plans were, in fact, already well advanced. On March 6, the three main Russian news agencies, Ria-Novosti, Interfax and TASS, all cited anonymous sources ensuring that the Russian attack had prevented the development by Ukraine with a nuclear bomb. According to RIA and Interfax, “the program was taking place on the Chernobyl site, and the goal was the development of a dirty bomb. The radiations identified in the zone [at the arrival of the Russian army] show that The program was advancing “.
