[ new ofcom study on people inability to determine true/fake social media posts
Although seven in 10 adults (69%) said they were confident in identifying misinformation, only two in 10 (22%) were able to correctly identify the tell-tale signs of a genuine post, without making mistakes. We saw a similar pattern among older children aged 12-17 (74% confident but only 11% able).
Similarly, around a quarter of adults (24%) and children (27%) who claimed to be confident in spotting misinformation were unable to identify a fake social media profile in practice

The siege of leningrad ended 78 years ago, so that doesn't make much sense.

Siege of Leningrad
8 Sept 1941 – 27 Jan 1944 ."She was born at the tail end of World War II, in a Leningrad devastated by the brutal 900-day Nazi blockade in March 44 and thereby she has become a symbol of peace."
 
Seen a comment about the latest moves by Russia and the political landscape of possible deals:

"Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. Fool me a dozen times; I must be an EU diplomat." ~Kevin Croysdale

I've got a bad feeling these latest moves are intended to play on the short attention span and dislike of the inconvenience this situation is having on people more remote to the conflict especially those in Europe, putting pressure on for the acceptance of a hastily made bad deal for Ukraine and giving Russia an upper hand. People just never seem to learn.

Furthermore:

bbc.co.uk said:
Ukraine's military believes the withdrawals "are probably a rotation of individual units" aimed at misleading Ukraine's military leadership and creating a "misconception" about the meaning of their deployment.

This is something we've seen Russia do time and time again in the months and years leading up to this invasion - no reason to think they are doing anything different to their old habits now.
