❗️ Don’t write “no missiles were shot down,” because by doing so you’re playing into Russian propaganda,” — spokesperson of the Territorial Defense Yuriy Ihnat appealed to journalists.
Forgive me, of course, but what does Russia and hostile propaganda have to do with this… The fifth year of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation is ongoing — isn’t it of concern to Ukrainians what those “Solovyovs and Skabeyevas” are spouting… Especially since, regardless of the wording used by “Ukrainian” media, they’ll shout based on the actual results of our air defenses.
Accordingly, let’s be frank: this statement isn’t really about worry over being quoted by Russian propaganda… It’s purely calculated for the internal Ukrainian public. And if that’s the case — and it is — then this is a very bad story… a story in the style of “even if there are problems — let’s just not talk about them”…
Question: will not talking about reality as it is solve the problems? — of course not. AND IN THIS CASE — not talking means lulling and soothing Ukrainians that everything is fine… — how many victims will there be if Ukrainians believe some distorted reality?...
Fuck… the fifth year of full-scale war, and Ukrainians are still being fitted with a “barbecue” paradigm on their heads!!! Instead of going out and speaking openly and truthfully — “be ready, reality is like this…” — recommendations are heard along the lines of “let’s not talk about it”…
Don’t speak, don’t criticize the authorities — you’re playing into Russian propaganda…
Don’t talk about the Territorial Recruitment Centers — you’re playing into Russian propaganda…
Don’t talk about the realities of missiles being shot down — you’re playing into Russian propaganda…
What’s next — don’t breathe?
