Russia has released a propaganda video on state media depicting its air defense forces shooting down Santa Claus over the Kremlin. In the video, Santa Claus is shown flying over Moscow in a sleigh carrying NATO missiles when he is targeted and destroyed by a missile launched by Russian air defenses. Ded Moroz, the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus, appears alongside an air defense operator who declares, "Target destroyed. We don't need anything foreign in our skies. Happy New Year!" The video's portrayal of Santa as a foreign threat carrying weapons has raised concerns over its messaging.
