An 'anti-Europe' Christmas advertisement broadcast by RT is circulating on social media.
Commenting on the advert: Igor Sushko, a former racecar driver who was born in Ukraine, tweeted: 'Propaganda ads coming out on Russian channels available online in Europe to instill fear in Europeans through energy terrorism.
'The message: In a year, Europeans will have to resort to eating their own pets unless they appease Putin now.'
The video concentrates on a family celebrating Christmas.
The mother takes her hands away from her daughter's eyes to reveal they have bought a hamster, with a red ribbon tied in a bow on its head.
The girl looks pleased and the family hug one another.
'Christmas 2021' flashes up on the screen to indicate the timeframe.
Then 'Christmas 2022' appears on the video to show that a year has passed.
The father places the hamster cage on the table.
He then wires it up and it is seen to be powering the Christmas lights.
