French President Emmanuel Macron responded to the Russian army's overnight shelling of Ukraine by noting that Russia "has once again shown that it does not truly share the desire for peace" and expressed "full support" for the Ukrainian people.
It still needs repeating to counter propaganda from Russia and Russia’s western supporters. If you leave propaganda unchecked, worse things tend to happen.
Yeah. You don’t need to look far (to lemmy.ml) to find people who argue that Russia is perfectly justified in not respecting the ceasefire. Clearly we won’t be changing the mind of those people because to them anything Ukraine related (from the west) is 100% propaganda which means Macron stating the obvious is also just “propaganda” to them. But for people who aren’t keeping up with the news it’s useful to remind them that the world doesn’t believe the tankie sauce certain people seem to think is the truth.
Russia has demonstrated it doesn’t actually desire peace so many times by now that it’s a bit pointless to mention it, really.

Hence “once again” in the title
