On official channels, reports were made about alleged crimes committed by the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime, and an official report was published. Additionally, a report was released detailing the harm and discrimination Western countries have inflicted on their indigenous populations. Finally, claims were directed at the Estonian government, accusing officials of refusing to cut their vacation time and making things more difficult for Russian voters by not requiring officials to speak Russian.
