Father Christmas, driving a sleigh filled with NATO-branded rockets, is shot out of the sky above Moscow in an apparent new piece of Russian propaganda.
“Good, we don’t need anything foreign in our skies,” says a second Santa in Russian, sitting in what appears to be a control room.
Ukraine Centre for Countering Disinformation shared the video, saying that Russia’s “paranoia about the ‘NATO threat’ has reached new heights”.
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.

“Good, we don’t need anything foreign in our skies,”
Also Russia: I just can’t understand why everyone is being so unreasonable to us
Really showing the world who they are lol
Santa seems to get on a lot of commercial planes in and around Russia, lol.
Okay there might actually be a war on Christmas now
When I first read ‘NATO Santa’, I imagined a blue Santa who’s sled was pulled by F-35s. Got to say that the Russian propaganda department missed the mark on this one.
