The Center monitors the information space of Global South countries and identifies narratives favorable to russia. In recent days, the key Ukraine-related topics have included:<\/p>\n
\u2013 the russian missile strike on Sumy, which killed civilians;
\n\u2013 prospects for peace negotiations in Ukraine;
\n\u2013 participation of Chinese nationals in the war against Ukraine;
\n\u2013 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s interview with CBS News 60 Minutes.<\/p>\n
The russian missile strike on the city of Sumy, which claimed the lives of 35 Ukrainian civilians, sparked major resonance across Global South countries. In most regions, this event was covered as a war crime committed by russia.<\/p>\n
Talks between the United States and russia were often covered in connection with the russian strike on Sumy, implying their ineffectiveness and expressing skepticism about the possibility of a swift resolution. The previously dominant optimistic expectations about peace talks in Global South media have now largely been replaced by more skeptical tones.<\/p>\n
Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s interview with CBS News received widespread coverage across Global South countries, with the greatest attention in India and China. His invitation to U.S. President Donald Trump to visit Ukraine also drew significant attention.<\/p>\n
In Africa and the Middle East, some media outlets circulated a fake claim that Ukraine had publicly expressed support for the separatist armed movement in Mali \u2014 known as the Azawad Liberation Front. The periodic appearance of such false messages, especially on topics sensitive for Africa, may indicate a deliberate campaign to discredit Ukraine on the continent, a tactic beneficial to russia.<\/p>\n
Key narratives of russian propaganda:
\n\u2013 Ukraine is sabotaging efforts to reach a partial ceasefire;
\n\u2013 the crisis in Ukraine is a profitable business for the U.S. military-industrial complex;
\n\u2013 Ukraine openly supports terrorists and separatists in Africa;
\n\u2013 Ukraine should give up part of its territory for the sake of peace;
\n\u2013 Ukraine is a puppet of the Western world, entirely dependent on decisions made by the U.S. and NATO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
