Russian propaganda losing influence worldwide - Zelensky

Russian propaganda is losing its influence even in the world where Ukraine has yet to secure a strong informational position.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine spoke of this in his latest video address to the nation, Ukrinform reports.

"Due to the decency of Ukraine and the constructive desire of our state to help others, we have a unique result: Russian propaganda is losing its influence even in the world where we still have to secure a strong information position, in particular in the countries of the Global South. These are Latin America, Africa, South Asia," said Zelensky.

He recalled that at the UN General Assembly, Ukraine proposed a peace formula as a way to stabilize international relations.

"And it was definitely heard by the world. The reaction to my speech at the General Assembly was really positive. Different countries equally wanted to hear specifics. Specifics on how to restore peace, how to end this war. Ukraine presented its vision. Clear, logical, fair and realistic," said Zelensky.

At the same time, according to the Ukrainian leader, Russia presented “lame excuses, complaints, and constant lying propaganda, which the world has got tired of long ago.”

"A striking contrast with us. I am grateful to all the heads of state, all the politicians, public figures, cultural and business leaders who expressed their support for us at the General Assembly and at all the events in America this week," the president noted.

According to Zelensky, this has been a productive week for Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy Oleksandr Merezhko is convinced that the International Tribunal should try not only the Russian leadership but also their propagandists, top clerics, and those who funds their war campaign.
