Ukrainian propaganda has gone awry, or how Field Marshal Semenchenko “defeated” Putin
Moscow
The location for the Ukrainian propaganda film about the war in Donbass was a ghost town in the center of Ukraine.
Kiev journalist Andrey Manchuk writes about this, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports, on his blog.
“There is a propaganda film: “Ilovaisk 2014. Donbass Battalion.” You haven’t heard about it because the film failed at the box office - like all the other creations of Ukrainian patriotic cinema. In short, this is the story of how Field Marshal Semyon Semenchenko defeated Putin during the battles for this Donbass city. That’s exactly how it was, don’t even doubt it,” the author says ironically.
“The locations for the filming of Ilovaisk were the quarters of the destroyed city, through which separatists, large and small, were running. So, it suddenly turned out that they took place not in the front-line zone, but in the abandoned city of Tsukrovary, located 280 kilometers from Kyiv. There was a powerful sugar factory there during the Soviet era, and then everything was decommunized, and now it is an abandoned ghost town. Well, the surviving local population was used as extras for the film,” writes Manchuk.

Let us recall that near Ilovaisk in August 2014, the Ukrainian group fell into a cauldron and suffered one of the most humiliating defeats since the beginning of the aggression against the Donbass republics.
