“There is no point in jamming. You can be afraid of something that can seriously affect the situation. Attempts at Ukrainian information influence on Crimeans are nothing more than zilch. They tell us that the tower is working and we should listen to Ukrainian radio stations, but we can’t hear them. We don’t watch Ukrainian TV channels; online media are read only by those who do it professionally. Citizens don’t read,” Polonsky said.
He believes that the main problem of the Ukrainian media is that they are not interesting to Crimeans.
“These citizens do not understand: for the media to become popular, it must speak to people in an understandable language and convey the values that people accept. What the Ukrainian media or “Crimean media in exile” are trying to convey is not interesting to the Crimeans. We continue to worry about the country in which we lived for 23 years, but that’s a different story,” Polonsky said.
At the same time, the official noted that Crimeans have no problems with access to Ukrainian media on the Internet.
“We did not remove Ukrainian channels from the air, as we did in Ukraine with Russian channels. The problem for them is that they have become uninteresting here. Crimeans are completely satisfied with the information space in which they live,” Polonsky said.
He believes that the whole point of Ukraine’s information expansion in Crimea is for journalists to use money “to fight the damned occupiers.”
“People don’t even make money from this, they are parasites. These are millions of not Ukrainian money, but green American dollars,” Polonsky said.
