The Ukrainian government fears that the country’s citizens will begin to suspect that AFU missiles are hitting their homes.
This, reports the correspondent of “PolitNavigator”, on the air of the video blog of Ukrainian journalist Alexander Shelest, said the Kiev political analyst Kost Bondarenko.
We don’t know what’s really going on, how many Calibers have been shot down, four or two. We don’t know whose missile hit the apartment building: was it the Kalibr or the air defense missile that tried to shoot down the Kalibr. Actually the propagandists’ logic is clear: if there is any atrocity, any tragedy, it must be ascribed to the warring party.
It is easier in this respect for Ukraine, because it did not start the war. It is clear that Ukraine can declare any victim a victim of war, and the war was unleashed by Russia,” the expert said.
On the other hand, he adds, if allowed to publish photos, videos and so on, “it will be interesting not so much the opposite side.
But it will make the average average citizen wonder: who is the guilty party, from whose side the missile was fired. To avoid these speculations, to make people ask unnecessary questions, they simply prohibit publishing the video,” summarized Bondarenko.
