Ukrainian TV propagandist in a stupor: 90% of Donbass is on the side of the militia (VIDEO)
Kyiv, November 19 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) - Ukrainian journalists covering events in the combat zone say that the population of Donbass is overwhelmingly opposed to Kyiv, and do not know what to do about it.
In particular, Roman Bochkala, a journalist from the Inter TV channel, drew attention to this during a round table in Kyiv, where standards of journalistic activity in conflict situations were discussed.

He stressed that it is difficult to adhere to journalistic standards - not to ignore information from people who contradict other evidence, since "very often the evidence is based on personal beliefs."
“Depending on which side a particular person supports, this is how he presents his evidence,” the journalist noted. – I had such a situation in the village of Trekhizbenka, Slavyanoserbsky district. It is quite obvious that the shells were flying from the direction of the occupied territory (LPR. – ed.). All people speak about this quite clearly, except for the owner of the house whose territory was hit by a shell. The owner says that this is all the Ukrainian army. I ask him: “What about Putin?” And he answers: “What about Putin? Putin is doing everything right.”
At the same time, what was told by the owner of the house was broadcast, but was presented by the author of the story, according to him, in such a way as to demonstrate his disagreement.
“That is, in any case, my value judgments were woven into this episode,” the Ukrainian TV personality emphasized.
Further, he nevertheless noted that with the support of the population in Kyiv, things are very bad in the Donbass.
“There are population centers, unfortunately, that are controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, but at the same time, 80-90 percent of the population supports these same occupiers,” admits Roman Bochkala. “It really sympathizes with them.” So what should I do? You have to communicate with them. We cannot mislead society and pretend that everyone there supports Ukraine. They don’t call them “occupiers,” but call them “our guys.” They don’t say “terrorists”, they say “militia”.
At the same time, the journalist said that he did not know what to do in this situation.
“I need your advice, gentlemen, experts, because it’s difficult for me,” he addressed the organizers of the round table.
