It appears that Bild did some digging into the German archives, made a few changes with some correction fluid and posted the article, Putin's Plan for Invasion of Ukraine. All things new are simply the well-forgotten old, and Germany does not tire of trying to provide proof of this saying, giving us more ideology-based propaganda that cancels out any common sense. 

Let's set things straight.

Lviv is marked on the map as Lemberg, while the modern city’s name in German is Lwiw – the one that is used in official materials by the German Federal Foreign Office. On the city’s map of 1942, when it was under occupation, the place was mentioned as Lemberg – the Austro-Hungarian name used at the time by its Nazi occupants. The question is exactly what map did the authors of the article use?

The map of eastern Ukraine was apparently sent [to German authors] directly from Bankovaya Street, with the city of Dnepropetrovsk marked as Dnipro, to which it was renamed only five years ago during the so-called de-communisation campaign.   

So, they put it all together and saw something was missing – and they decided this was a plan for attack.

Apparently, we should seek their ‘source of inspiration’ across the pond: only yesterday the Washington Post posted a similar map mentioning Russia’s alleged invasion of Ukraine (I have already made my comments on these bogus stories today).  The Germans have taken a creative approach to US images – and took it a step further, with their love for marching on Kiev.

The initial stage of the ‘invasion,’ which Bild called “South,” includes attacking Ukraine’s southern regions to cut off the country’s access to the sea and to ensure supply lines to Crimea. German ‘wunder-journalists’ totally have no idea that the Crimean Bridge has been used for these purposes for several years now – and apparently, Kiev is also to blame for Germany’s being clueless because, according to statements by Ukrainian experts, no bridge exists as its construction is impossible.

The second stage of the ‘invasion’ calls for the weakening of Ukraine’s defensive capacity with ballistic missile attacks. Dubbed “Northeast,” this stage is designed to allegedly be conducted in parallel with the first one. Dear friends, but what does Russia have to do with this? For several years, the Kiev regime has been successfully degrading Ukraine’s defensive capacity on its own.

The third stage, “Kiev,” involves an offensive against Ukraine’s capital from the north. After advancing “approximately to the Korosten-Uman line,” the Russian army will “force Kiev to surrender.”

The city of Uman is known as a location of the annual pilgrimage of Hasidim. What is Bild getting at? In Germany, people have already gotten used to fake news – but this example of German trolling may come at a cost for the newspaper, given the recently found fact of blatant anti-Semitism among German journalists.

So Bild journalists used three pieces of the puzzle to pull together this nonsense and then left to enjoy their weekend feeling satisfied.

So why not spoil it for them?
