'NATO Santa' shot down over Moscow in apparent Russian propaganda video Father Christmas, driving a sleigh filled with NATO-branded rockets, is shot out of the sky above Moscow in an apparent new piece of Russian propaganda.
The video begins with Santa, dressed in red, flying in a sleigh above the Russian capital, saying: "Ho, ho, ho!
Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko reported that it was released after the Azerbaijani Airlines plane crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day - amid speculation it was shot down by Russian air defences.
