Video: How a provocation with the installation of a tank in Berlin led to the opposite effect and triggered a chain reaction in the Baltic countries News

Designed to bolster anti-Russian sentiment, the PR campaign not only failed to achieve its organizers’ goals, but led to the opposite effect, setting off a chain reaction across the Baltics. Similar pro-Ukrainian provocations in Tallinn, Vilnius and Riga, as well as in Berlin, immediately spun out of control: instead of shouting Russophobic slogans, residents of the republics came to technology with flowers and candles, and Cities in European capitals quickly filled with protesters against the supply of Western arms to Kiev.According to the Russian Embassy in Germany, pro-Ukrainian activists ended up destroying flowers brought by locals to a tank in Berlin and also erected a fence around the car. The police did nothing to prevent this. “Ordinary Germans have been made very clear that their views on the events unfolding in Ukraine, expressed in the most peaceful form in their own homes, have no right to exist if someone in Kiev don’t like it,” the Russian embassy said. .
