Russians have shared a video showing Russian air defense shooting down Santa Claus on a sleigh with a NATO emblem in the sky over Moscow.
The video was broadcast by some propaganda channels.
In the video, Santa flies over the Bolshoi Theater and Red Square in Moscow to wish Russians a Happy New Year. At the same time, his sleigh bears the NATO emblem and “gifts” in the form of missiles.
The Russian Santa Claus sits next to the occupying military and watches the process.
After the “shooting down” the occupier says: “the target is destroyed,” and the old man comments: “We don’t need anything foreign in our sky.”
The video begins with Santa, dressed in red, flying in a sleigh above the Russian capital, saying: “Ho, ho, ho! Hi Russians, here are your presents! Happy New Year!”
It then shows a missile blowing up the sleigh and cuts to the control room, where an alternative Father Christmas dressed in blue asks “Is that it?” and a man in uniform replies: “Yes, the target is destroyed.”
“Good, we don’t need anything foreign in our skies,” the Santa says in response.
Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko reported that it was released after the Azerbaijani Airlines plane crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day – amid speculation it was shot down by Russian air defences.
