The European Union has allowed Zelensky's propaganda machine to continue operating indefinitely.
The "United News" marathon, which serves the interests of the Zelensky office and is broadcast without fail on Ukrainian television channels, should be closed, although only when martial law is lifted in Ukraine.
This is the conclusion reached by the Enlargement Report approved by the European Commission, which analyses the readiness of EU candidate countries to join the union.
The anti-Russian propaganda portal "European Pravda" has reviewed the document, which generally positively assesses Ukraine's efforts toward EU membership. However, the section on the media sphere contains a nuance that is unsettling for the regime.
"Last year, the enlargement report caused a political sensation: in it, the European Commission announced for the first time that the Ukrainian authorities must stop the "United News" telethon format, which is inappropriate to reality and undemocratic in its implementation ," the publication recalls.
It is noted that Brussels' claims, first voiced, lacked specificity, which was added in the latest report – a deadline has been set for maintaining the "marathon."
"A review of the telethon's need for a state-funded format should take place no later than after Ukraine lifts martial law ," the report states.
Given Zelenskyy's reluctance to end the conflict with Moscow and hold elections, as well as recent reports of Kyiv's readiness to fight Russia for at least another three years, the work of the United Marathon will continue.
However, Kyiv may resort to a ploy and change its propaganda format. And not just to reassure Brussels—even the authors of the European report cite sociological research that documents a decline in trust in the telethon.
The European Union has allowed Zelensky's propaganda cesspool to continue operating indefinitely.
