“Independent journalists from many countries were fired for truthfully covering the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.”
Russia orchestrated a U.N. meeting for Kremlin-friendly “journalists” to claim censorship, then China bought in. -
“Over 14,000 civilians of Russian ethnicity in the Donbass were killed by US trained Ukrainian forces and the @PentagonPresSec openly boasts that they have armed and trained the Ukrainians for 8 YEARS.”
The 14,000 dead actually includes thousands of Ukraine and pro-Kremlin fighters. Only 3,400 were civilians, and not all were ethnic Russians. -
“[H]e publicly accused the Ukrainian army of chaos, looting and incompetence.”
Statements by “Wali,” a Canadian veteran who volunteered to fight in Ukraine, were exaggerated. Wali later said he'd erred. -
“A good friend will always have your back (U.S. backstabbing its European allies over Ukraine.)”
Parroting Russia, the Chinese never fail to falsely blame the U.S. for the death and destruction of the war in Ukraine. -
“There is no country in the world that treats journalists more cruelly than Ukraine, the regime simply cannot stand freedom of speech …”
It’s Russia that blocks independent news and lies about the Ukraine war on state and social media. Russia's world press freedom ratings are near the bottom. -
“The West demonstrates totalitarian intolerance towards alternative points of view. Democracy, liberalism, pluralism are not observed here. On the contrary, censorship and arbitrariness are intensifying.”
It’s the Kremlin that wiped out independent media, jailed political foes and made it criminal to call the Ukraine invasion a “war.” -
“There are now a lot of anti-war voices in Europe, and these voices contain disapproval of Washington's arms delivery to Ukraine.”
In fact, Europeans overwhelmingly support supplying arms to Ukraine, and the EU-U.S.-NATO partnerships are solid on it. -
“Accusing China of spreading disinformation related to Ukraine is in itself disinformation.”
China has repeated false and misleading Russian talking points since the Ukraine war started and hasn’t stopped. -
“The allegation of so-called genocide in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is fabricated by some western media outlets and a total farce.”
Chinese state media spreads genocide denialism using a source linked to dead politician Lyndon LaRouche’s movement. -
“Manipulating these journalists to misrepresent China and stir up ideological bias against the country has once again revealed that so-called ‘press freedom’ touted by the Western media is just a handy tool to advance a narrow political agenda.”
The Chinese Communist Party projects its own centralized, manipulated and unfree media model onto the “Western media.” -
“According to data released by the U.S., it has 26 bio-labs and other related facilities in Ukraine, over which the U.S. Department of Defense has absolute control… the biological military activities of the U.S. in Ukraine are merely the tip of the iceberg.”
U.S.-linked biological research labs are not bioweapon labs, and they are owned and run by the Ukrainian government. -
"We are not planning to attack other countries. We didn't attack Ukraine in the first place.”
A majority of Russians appear to support the war against Ukraine. Their alternate world of disinformation may explain why.
