False Flag 

Propagating lies is at the heart of propaganda. This is what makes it different from public relations, which uses facts persuasively.  The Russians are masters of propaganda and now are accusing the US of using "military biological weapons" in Ukraine.  Or, so they claim at the United Nations.  It is a classic false flag trick designed to stir anger in their own country among citizens who are not getting accurate information about the war and to justify their own use of such weaponry.  The US has called the charge "preposterous" and "laughable."  Russian citizens are likely to think otherwise as Putin floods the airwaves, print media and internet with lies.  Putin has mobilized his own people if not his troops on the front lines who know what is happening.  That is why propaganda is evil at its core and should not be used by any ethical communicator.
