Reporting from Mariupol on the heavy weapons withdrawal, ZDF journalist Katrin Eigendorf invokes “concentrations of Russian military gear” and the plans for a Russian offensive planned for March – as usual, all without any evidence provided

It is part of the standard repertoire of the liars-media that a completely blank war propaganda is always being loudly and uncritically distributed, while basically the statements of the ‘enemy’ are called into question, dismissed as propaganda or simply kept under wraps.
No one can count any longer how often the tall tales of the Kiev junta about the alleged Russian tank battalions in Ukraine have been spread by ARD and ZDF. This scam continues until today. On Sunday the professional liar Katrin Eigendorf was again in Mariupol and could report actually nothing special – except that the mayor and the military leaders ‘reported’ about ‘Russian military equipment’ that was allegedly concentrated in the region. Of course, there was also not the slightest shred of evidence.
ZDF war monger Eigendorf could easily broadcast an interview with the mayor or the military leaders. If it did not involve lying, it would provoke a great and understandable interest among the German public and would help in provision of Western help. Eigendorf could ask where it was, how many tanks there were, how many soldiers approximately and she could even go there to see everything. Of course, nothing like that happened, because the baseless gossip would turn out to be cheap war propaganda, and that’s exactly what ZDF want to spread and share with the German population together with the Kiev junta.
‘… Some people even celebrate. However, the local mayor and military leaders say that there are heavy Russian, uh, military machines that have been concentrating here. And that implies …aaa… aaaa indicates that there will be an attack on Mariupol in March…’.
Anyone who thinks that she talks only about ‘Russian military equipment’ underestimates the effect of propaganda. Of course, it should be therefore insinuated that there are regular Russian troops.
We again record the stuttering here because it refers to the subconscious mind of the liar, which defends itself against the uncontrollable lie – even though only the lie of a third party is spread here. This is a certain sign, and you can now regularly observe it while listening to the German correspondents.
