Summary/Abstract: Despite EU sanctions the Russian state media RT DE and SNA (the German version of Sputnik) continue working in Berlin and spreading disinformation on war against Ukraine. The aim is to justify Russia’s war in Ukraine, denigrate Ukraine internationally and blame the West for the aggression. According to a survey, up to 40 percent of Germany’s population support the Russian narratives fully or partially. But the Russian state media also try to influence the domestic policy in Germany. Currently they support protests against sanctions and the government and thus exploit the energy crisis for their political goals. By pretending to defend people’s interests against an abusive political elite they aim to destabilize society and attack the democracy in Germany.
