Ukrainian blogger Evgeniy Chursin reported this on his Facebook page, telling how on the Ukrainian TV channel “Direct” they were outraged by an Apple commercial where they showed a Russian Paralympian who has a prosthetic leg instead of a leg, and called him a “Russian cyborg.”
“The ATO veterans who defended the Donetsk airport and who were popularly nicknamed “cyborgs” for their steadfastness were outraged by the video. During the broadcast, presenter Svetlana Orlovskaya repeated several times that this was a Russian provocation, an element of information and hybrid warfare, and that the guy who starred in the advertisement FOUGHT AGAINST UKRAINE, echoed by the second presenter Matvey Ganapolsky, who suggested that until an apology be made, a ban on selling products altogether Apple in Ukraine (although it is not officially sold in Ukraine),” the blogger shared the details of the broadcast.
“But everything would be fine, but the fact is that the Russian Paralympian, swimming champion and presenter Dmitry Ignatov, who starred in the advertisement, DID NOT FIGHT, LESS THAN FIGHT IN UKRAINE!!! He actually lost his leg long before our ATO began. Orlovskaya and Ganapolsky are just the bottom! This is not journalism, this is hate speech. This is some kind of shame,” concluded Chursin.
