The conversation on X

X debate centers on Russia’s war, propaganda, censorship, and a reported outbreak

X is dominated by criticism of Russia’s war conduct and alleged propaganda, including claims that propaganda is widespread, ineffective, or embedded in online discussion. A smaller opposing view blames NATO or Ukraine for the war and presents Russia as non-hostile or defensive.

Other posts focus on military pressure, possible Russian expansion, and a reported disease outbreak in Russia. The outbreak discussion adds demands for direct sources and transparency, along with speculation about bioweapons or false attribution.

Compared with the podcast story, X concentrates much more heavily on the Russia–Ukraine war and propaganda dispute. It gives less attention to AI competition, cybercrime, internet censorship as a standalone issue, and investigations, while adding outbreak-related discussion and sharper disagreement over responsibility for the war.

Points of view

Share of the 43 posts that take a position

  • Opposition to Russia’s war and propaganda63%

    These posts portray Russia as responsible for aggression, destruction, or misleading narratives about Ukraine. Holders argue that Russian propaganda denies Ukraine’s agency, distorts the war, and should be resisted or restricted.

    • “Russia intensifies internet censorship following State Duma elections with major VPN crackdowns. Citizens face growing restrictions on digital freedom as authorities expand their control over online access. A stark reminder of why protecting internet privacy matters globally.”

      @LeVPN · Sep 30

    • “Wanting Russia to end their war is warmongering. Russia choosing to continue their war is peace. - Russian propaganda logic. #Russia #Ukraine”

      @AlmostinControl · Oct 4

    • “So much to do, and so much Russian propaganda to debunk, that time is running out. Still, remember that Even today as well, Russia is the only true enemy.”

      @VSuomk · Oct 2

  • Russia is not the primary aggressor9%

    These posts argue that NATO, Ukraine, or Western governments caused or escalated the war, while Russia is not fundamentally an enemy of Europe or the West. Some also present Russia as defending Europeans or defeating hostile Western forces.

    • “Stop portraying Ukraine as a “defender of Europe.” The reason this war exists today is because of NATO and Ukraine itself. If NATO hadn’t overthrown President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, there would be no Russia-Ukraine war. If NATO had not expanded eastward after the collapse of”

      @Peter_Thuita001 · Oct 4

    • “THIS IS NOT RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA !! iT'S NOT DONE MY TROLS !! iT'S REAL !! POSTED BY HONEST EUROPEAN PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OUTSIDE EUROPE #RUSSIA IS NOT MY ENEMY IS HONEST AND UNITED PEOPLE AND STILL DOES. WE ARE ONE !!”

      @maryfloor · Oct 3

    • “Thing is he is fighting for Europeans as well.. just like Russia did in WW2. And the tragedy is, the regular person doesn’t even know it. I am so sick of this anti-Russian propaganda.”

      @MariaRainne888 · Oct 4

  • Demand for transparency about Russia’s outbreak5%

    These posts call for clearer, more direct information about a reported Russian disease outbreak and raise concerns about opacity, bioweapons, or misleading attribution. The emphasis is on obtaining sources and transparency rather than accepting a single explanation.

    • “In this TV interview I discuss the events surrounding the fatal pneumonia case in Russia. We need transparency not opacity. So many questions and there are bioweapon concerns when something like this happens in Russia.”

      @AmeshAA · Oct 6

  • Russia’s expansion could benefit its supporters5%

    These posts frame possible Russian territorial expansion or military success as amusing, desirable, or evidence that Russia is prevailing over its opponents.

    • “So, what happens if Belarus were to join the Russian Federation by national referendum? That would be fun wouldn't it NATO? Russia expanding onto your borders for a change.”
