"According to the Fox Business channel, The White House officials have begun to involve popular #bloggers in a propaganda campaign aimed at pinning the blame for the #fuel crisis in the United States on the Russian leadership. This news confirms #Washington's desire to earn political points on #Russophobia. It is clear to reasonable people that the external enemy image of Russia is needed for the US leadership to justify its own failures in addressing domestic problems," the embassy said on Telegram.The statement appeared as earlier Fox News reported that the administration of the US President has used teen bloggers on TikTok to allegedly blame Russian President Vladimir Putin for rising gas prices.On Monday, US President Joe Biden said that prices for gasoline and heating oil in the United States will continue to rise as a result of the embargoes on Russian oil and other items imposed in response to Moscow's special military operation in Ukraine.
