No one believes any Russian propaganda in Ukraine - minister

The Kremlin's narratives in Ukraine fail to survive as no one believes any Russian propaganda in Ukraine.

That’s according to Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko, Ukrinform reports citing his Telegram channel.

"Russian narratives have broken in Ukraine. Completely. Before completing the first stage of the war, the Kremlin, weak as it is, has moved on to the second one. It’s capture and destruction. By logic, the propaganda component should have been launched had the Russian army captured the capital. So generals have nothing good to report. So, they started bombing TV towers – out of helplessness. But on the part of the state, we are trying to restore broadcasting as soon as possible wherever there is even the slightest possibility," the minister said.

According to Tkachenko, that is why Kremlin narratives do not survive in the country. Ukraine doesn’t believe in any Russian propaganda. Attempts to throw in another lie or disinformation only provoke even more hatred for everything related to Russia.

"Russian propaganda has driven itself into a dead end, so it has completely switched to the Russians – to brainwash them. Roskomnadzor is trying to block all resources that might tell the truth to the Russians. But they’ve lost control. And soon, the refrigerator at home will win over the TV at home for the Russians. Plus, there is a lack of resources on federal propaganda channels – more precisely, qualified liars are now running away like rats from a Russian ship that knows where it’s sailing," he said.

He noted that before the war he had written a lot about information security and critical thinking. "Now I see that I did it for a reason. Ukrainians have learned not to accept Russian narratives. They laugh at Russian fakes everywhere - in trenches, amid shelling, in basements, and in the temporarily occupied territories. So, I don't just believe – I know that we will win!" the minister concluded.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Culture Ministry set up an hourly broadcast of Ukrainian songs on European radio.
