Just one more piece to add to this picture. Ukraine has long been a target to Russian propaganda. But media watchdogs noticed that disinfo which particularly hits hard on reforms & demonizes Western partners who had advocated them has intensified over last years 1/4
Such propaganda advances a key narrative of Ukraine being a failed state governed from overseas. It tries to convince people the reforms eventually have a single goal which is to allow foreigners to grab as many UA strategic assets/ enterprises/ land/ whatever as possible 2/4
Just take a look at this one blatant example. And that's the show, broadcasted in prime time on the most popular news channel Ukrayina24 which belongs to Akhmetov: kyivpost.com/article/opinio… 3/4
Narratives currently spread by the Kremlin directly or pushed by some analysts attempting to persuade the West to sacrifice Ukraine to appease Putin are another side of the same coin.
The info operation aimed to disunite Ukraine & the West has been long underway 4/4
