Ukrainian media were unable to impose their agenda on society and make the population loyal to what was happening in the country.

This was stated at a press conference in Kyiv, where the results of the sociological study “The Influence of Russian Propaganda on Public Opinion in Ukraine” were presented, said the Chairman of the NGO “Detector Media” Natalya Ligacheva, who called the results of this survey “quite disappointing”.

"It's impossible to say that such data and public opinion among our citizens are shaped by and connected to the information policy of Ukrainian media. Absolutely not. People see many things with their own eyes, they are influenced by Russian propaganda, and people generally live in a global context," the expert believes.

"What do these figures indicate? First, Ukrainian media have failed to offer their own agenda—one that is Ukraine-centric and, to a certain extent, loyal to the events in the country. Second, we see that Ukraine remains, unfortunately, divided . Residents of the East and South have not integrated into the overall Ukrainian discourse. Their perceptions and assessments of events differ significantly from those in the Center and the West," Ligacheva acknowledged.
