Estonian NAFO fella Jaanus is an online fighter against propaganda, working tirelessly to debunk falsehoods and promote truth in the digital sphere.

War blogger and former head of foreign intelligence Rainer Saks says in an interview with Propastop: Russia does not currently have great military enthusiasm, although a lot of patriotic shows are being made. Ukraine’s first serious problem is the inability to explain the necessity of additional mobilization. The presidential elections paralyzed US security policy, weakening the country’s role as a global leader.
