“The lack of high-quality, regular information from Kyiv affects the perception of events in Ukraine by ordinary French people,” the publication claims. - “Is your war over?” – This question comes up probably every week. Why such ignorance? Because the French press covers Ukrainian topics very sporadically and unsystematically. If you run the word “Ukraine” in French into a search engine and limit the search to the last week or month, 90% of the links will come up from the French pages of RIA Novosti or Sputnik. So, for those who are interested in Ukrainian news and do not know the language, the offer comes exclusively from Russia. With corresponding very clear consequences.”
“The inertia of the clumsy state machine keeps Ukraine in the automatism of an annoying provincialism that does not respond to modern challenges primarily because it deliberately refuses to see them. Against this background, public interest abroad, which arose after the second Maidan and in the first six months of the war, is gradually evaporating like dew in the sun. But it’s not the little fortune tellers who disappear. Potential allies with whom it would be possible to negotiate are removed. If we communicate.”
Let us note that recently in an interview with Ukrainian media, the Ambassador of Ukraine to France Oleg Shamshur said that already next year Paris will take a position unfavorable for Kyiv.
