Ivan Fechko, expert of the Latin American and Caribbean Research Program of the Foreign Policy Council, Ukrainian Prism spoke about Russian propaganda in Latin America. Russian embassies also serve as the centers of propaganda. They are disproportionately large. Their staff exceeds 10 times the staff of Ukrainian embassies in the same countries. This shows that there is a huge number of intelligence officers working there to spread Russian influence.
“It is also worth mentioning the Russian Federation’s cultural diplomacy in the region. They have huge cultural organizations – the so-called Russian Houses, which represent Russia as a huge world donor. By spreading Russian culture, they convince Latin Americans that this war is justified and they are trying to liberate their historical territories. This happens due to the distortion of historical and cultural realities,” Ivan Fechko added.
