Bucha shocked the world. For a while, Russian media and agents of influence were simply removed from the global media space by this tragedy. But nothing lasts forever. Bucha has already been forgotten. Mariupol, Kramatorsk, Kremenchuk, Vinnytsia have been forgotten. The killed and maimed Ukrainian children are forgotten.
It is forgotten that it was Russia that attacked Ukraine. For the world now, war is simply a war where both sides are bad, because both kill. And this is a chance for Russian propaganda.
Moscow propagandists have vast experience in creating and spreading fakes. They are very good at emotions. Russians will stop at nothing for propaganda. And if they need a murdered child in the frame, it will be there. At any cost. Do you understand what this means?
“Moscow propagandists have vast experience in creating and spreading fakes. They are very good at emotions. Russians will stop at nothing for propaganda. And if they need a murdered child in the frame, it will be there. At any cost.”
Now it is critically important for Ukrainian propaganda to make films about real war, not Komarov's films about how good our president is. About the pain of refugees, heroism at the front, and civilian casualties.
The West needs to be reminded all the time who attacked. Because of whom the war began and continues. Whose territory is occupied. This is a huge and very responsible job. And this should be the work of the state of Ukraine, first of all, at public expense. Now this work is practically non-existent. What we have is the Western media and volunteers with a bare enthusiasm.
“The West needs to be reminded all the time who attacked. Because of whom the war began and continues. Whose territory is occupied. This is a huge and very responsible job.”
And Moscow's propaganda has come to its senses and is again functioning as efficiently as possible.
And if after a while the attitude to the war in Europe changes and the Germans and French feel that things are not so clear cut again and we lose support, there will be a reason for this phenomenon. The name of this reason is Oleksandr Tkachenko and Mykhailo Podolyak, who determine Ukraine's information policy. Or rather, non-politics.
