In the Donbass, a communication war between Ukraine and the separatists

Published on :

The Ukrainian army seeks to mobilize the international press in the conflict which opposes it to the pro-Russian separatists, but in the Donbass region, Kiev has not managed to stop the Russian propaganda machine. Report from our correspondent.

While ceasefire violations are increasing in eastern Ukraine, another war is raging in the Donbass region, that of communication and disinformation.

For several weeks, the two camps have been clashing through the media to discredit the adversary. Example with the attack on the city of Stanitsa Luganska, in the Donbass, where a school was hit: Kiev accuses pro-Russian separatists, while Moscow screams manipulation.
