Why russia has launched an information campaign to mark the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the battle for Donetsk Airport
russia has launched a large-scale information campaign to mark the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the battle for Donetsk Airport, trying to shift the responsibility for the war on Kyiv.
▪️ As part of this campaign, enemy propaganda is actively covering commemorative events in the TOT and disseminates statements of russian politicians and kremlin proxies in the occupied territories on the anniversary of the first large-scale battle for Donetsk Airport, which took place on May 26, 2014.
▪️ This battle is presented by ru-propaganda as “Ukraine’s aggressive attack on Donbas.” However, it was russia that launched a hybrid military aggression against our country in 2014. At the time of the outbreak of hostilities in the east, Ukrainian Crimea had already been occupied, and the vast majority of the so-called “Donbas militia” were actually russians, including military and intelligence officers.
russia continues to lie to justify its aggression against Ukraine and to absolve itself of responsibility for the terror it has unleashed on Ukrainian civilians.
