A striking projection appeared overnight near the Armenian community church on Potsdamer Straße in Berlin, displaying a message in Armenian:
“1988. Փաշինյանը դավաճանել է հայերի հիշողությունը!”
Translated, it reads: “1988. Pashinyan has betrayed the memory of Armenians!” Accompanying the message was an image of the forget-me-not flower, a symbol of remembrance for the Armenian Genocide.
The date referenced, February 20, 1988, marks the beginning of the Karabakh (Artsakh) Movement, when Armenians in Artsakh initiated their struggle for self-determination.

For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read."
