Kyiv propaganda widens the gap between Donbass and Ukraine
Under Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Kyiv continues to throw mud at Donbass, and is by no means weaker than under the previous regime.
Alexey Muratov, head of the Central Executive Committee of the Public Movement “Donetsk Republic”, told PolitNavigator about this.
“To prepare staged videos, yesterday a group of journalists from the Ukrainian TV channel “1+1” under the leadership of Andrey Tsaplienko was near the position of the mortar crew that was firing at the village of Petrovskoye. As the press service of the People's Militia of the DPR reported, during the firing, a videographer was wounded, who was trying to film the exit of a mine from the barrel nearby. At the same time, this fact was neither confirmed nor denied in the Ukrainian media,” Muratov noted.
In addition, he recalled that yesterday Ukrainian journalists unsuccessfully tried to present the crossing of the border with Crimea by drunken Ukrainian servicemen as his abduction by FSB officers.
“Concealing and hushing up incidents, distorting facts and outright lies are characteristic features of the work of the Ukrainian information and propaganda machine. This is a targeted state policy, which Zelensky continued after his predecessor.
Ukrainian journalism has long ceased to be free and serves the interests of the ruling and financial elites. Those few who have not compromised their honor and conscience are subject to persecution and violence by right-wing militants - human rights organizations constantly point out this in their reports. For the most irreconcilable, the struggle ends tragically, as was the case with Oles Buzina and a number of other journalists,” the social activist emphasized.
Moreover, according to him, these crimes are not investigated, and the perpetrators remain unpunished, which gives rise to permissiveness and lawlessness.
“Silence and one-sided coverage of events in Donbass by Ukrainian journalists leads to an increase in the gap in mutual understanding, enmity and hatred, which reduces the chances of a peaceful resolution of the conflict,” Muratov concluded.
