A video of Russia's military chief proclaiming that 'there will be Soviet Union again' was shared widely among pro-Ukraine accounts and some Western diplomats.
The video and quote, either in full or paraphrased, was shared in posts seen by tens of thousands of Twitter and Telegram users over the following day.While the video of Sergei Shoigu's TV address is real, it has been taken out of context. He was in fact referencing events of the past.
The military chief was speaking at the 30th anniversary of the 1991-92 South Ossetia War, which was described by Russia back then as a"peacekeeping operation." "The first peacekeeping operation of the Russian Federation, which began on July 14, 1992, in South Ossetia, was carried out in a single breath and became an important milestone for the country," Shoigu said.
"This is a one-of-a-kind situation in which a commission comprised of representatives from all law enforcement agencies was formed in a matter of days," he added, congratulating all those involved in the operation who were present at the meeting.
