Mintpressnews.com did excellent work in unraveling the organizations involved in the propaganda for the Ukraine and against Russia. It is highly orchestrated, and if you see Zelenski saying this or that, behind his sloganeering, memes and statements, ready for roll-out, is a slick, coherent, propaganda and intelligence marketing campaign.
Ukraine’s Propaganda War: International PR Firms, DC Lobbyists and CIA Cutouts
The ISIS eight language recruitment videos drawing jewhadis to baghdadis khilafat were masterpieces, all done at CIA HQ with full support/coverage from FB. Only shamima begum is now regretting having left her bengali curries in London for a POW camp in Syria.
US and NATO trained these ukies just well enough to cause more death than they normally would before they themselves are killed.
Any ukie that believes the west cares about them is delusional. They are being used, big time. All this propaganda won´t matter when urkaine capitulates. Even earlier US assessments about ukraine are being doubted by the US regime officials. They are saying that perhaps they have been too optimistic about Russia being unable to prevail.
This is what one of these many octopus arms looks like from the China side.

Global Times has been producing some excellent pieces on both US misinformation and its hacking/cyberwar activities. If you go to their website, the section “In-Depth” on the top menu is worth exploring. Unfortunately the pace of events in the world is such that they quickly move off of their front page.
⚡️ #Opinion by Maria Zakharova:
What an amazing piece of American investigative reporting (https://www.mintpressnews.com/ukraine-propaganda-war-international-pr-firms-dc-lobbyists-cia-cutouts/280012/) we have here.
It reveals that Kiev and its Western patrons have been manipulating the public opinion on a mind-blowing scale.
It turns out that the image cultivated by all Western media for a month now by casting Ukraine as a victim results from a sophisticated and systematic effort by very serious people, probably for a lot of money.
First, the jokes about the communication guidelines turned out to be true. They do exist with the best Western PR agencies drafting key messages and what words must be used and when. They make video compilations for broadcasts and issue recommendations on sources. There is a direct ban on using “unverified media,” i.e., those that were not approved in the West.
Yaroslav Turbil is described as a key figure of the Ukrainian propaganda machine. A native of Kiev, he is linked to US intelligence and is head of Ukraine.UA, a website operated by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry that often serves as a source of planted propaganda stories.
The investigative journalists analysed these propaganda materials and concluded that the Ukrainian propagandists seek to spin various topics like the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant or the no-fly zone in Ukraine and serve them to a network of Western PR services, including the British PR Network and the US lobby groups like SKDKnickerbocker, Yorktown Solutions and Your Global Strategy. Those, in turn, have the experience of working with the Western media to deliver the right message to the Western audiences.
Judging by this investigation, those who masterminded this approach have partners, including Novaya Gazeta, Meduza, Dozhd, Mediazona and Russian-language services of the Western media such as the BBC.
This is a rigorous and differentiated effort. There are memes for the younger audience and serious political analysis for experts.
The authors of the investigation did not hide the mind-blowing scale of this system, which includes over 150 entities and major figures for communicating the Ukrainian vision of the conflict to the entire world.
Who pays for all this? This is not an easy question, but at least part of the PR effort is paid for by government subsidies allocated by the UK, the US and the Czech Republic, as well as entities belonging to billionaire George Soros, incredible as this may sound.
This giant squid has penetrated with its tentacles every TV set, website of major Western media and every newspaper to cultivate a worldview that is simple and clear. The creators of this mechanism couldn’t care less that it is at odds with reality.
The world has not seen a disinformation campaign of this kind since the cult of the Caesars.
