If you have been monitoring the coverage of the conflict in Ukraine, it is amply clear that a narrative is being pushed.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is being compared to Winston Churchill during World War II; he is leading his people during perilous times to become an inspiring figure. He refused a safe passage offer from the U.S. with the quip: “I need ammunition, not a ride”. He streams videos from the deserted streets of Ukraine and posts photos with his cabinet. Photos of Zelenskyy surface in military gear on the battlefront. To sum it up, Zelensky is being portrayed as Churchill, Rambo and social media influencers all rolled into one.
Not to be left behind, a former Miss Ukraine, and the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelensky, reportedly joined the army. There are teary moments of Ukrainian soldiers bidding farewell to their families and children in the streets waving at them as they depart for war. There were photos of Russian soldiers holding Ukrainian girls as hostages. We see harrowing footage of injured Ukrainian children, slain Ukrainian soldiers, and explosions. We see courage as a brave Ukrainian child stands up to a Russian soldier, almost ordering him to leave her country.
It is all so poignant and inspiring until you fact-check the images.
The photos of Zelensky in military gear were from February 11, 2021, and April 9, 2021. The photo of the Russian soldier holding Ukrainian girls at gunpoint was a 2005 photo from the West Bank. Neither the first lady of Ukraine nor the former Miss Ukraine is joining the armed forces.

And - apparently - also murdering their own people, if they have pro-separatist views. This is one of many articles about the 2014 Odessa Massacre.
Our enemies foreign and domestic are sure wagging the hell out of that scenario two dog.
The moronic virtue signalling is truly nauseating.
“Yeah, I’m funny that way about uses of blunt force military aggression in civilian areas.”
You mean like the United States does all the time to other countries? Tell it to that family in Afghanistan that our drone blew up. Oh wait...you can’t they’re all dead.
Or the many residential areas we “accidentally” blew up in Iraq.
Exactly. I don’t like that either.
Your point?
Huh, thats disturbing. That link led to a very detailed article on the Odessa massacre. Yesterday it was fine, and today I can’t access it. Don’t know if you guys are having better luck.
More Russian propaganda...only fools buy into this drivel.
Most of it is on social media they- Russians- don’t even acknowledge they are bombing civilians and they said Ukraine blew up their own huge cargo plain so they couldn’t have it
My point was that we are always “justified” in our invasions because we are fighting “evil”, but only us - no one else is ever justified it seems.
I am not saying I agree with the invasion of Ukraine. I am saying two POS countries that are corrupt as can be are in a battle that has actually been going on behind the scenes for decades. The US is broke, hypocritical, and run via proxy by China.
So the narrative our globalist media is setting up bothers me. It raises red flags that this is about money and control for the establishment.
Be skeptical...period.
Coverage of this is just so over the top. Even Marina Abromovic made a statement on IG.
Rothschild = Deep State = Ukraine
You know what Winston Churchill said about the truth, don’t you, Bags?
No kidding. 😅
No idea who Counterpunch is/represents. No doubt a pro-Russian source.
I agree with all that. Its a main reason I support DJT.
Rolling into with tanks and artillery to settle geopolitical etc differences is no bueno. Seems we should all be able to agree on that.
Give it a month or next Friday, this story is not Covid, so it will pass like the rest and the downstream effects of sanctions will bring pain even the click bait propagandist cant avoid. The Ukrainian people deserve our sympathy and prayers. no one else
Yes. Trust in Putin.
We don’t see the Russian agit prop
This is more than just Ukes lying
It’s our leaders and media running with it
An inconvenient fact
Never mind
