  • I never heard any one say it was fake news. Just look at the videos and see the unnecessary deaths and destruction.
    • Shadow Of The Mind
      I have seen the horror on the news. The reason why I asked the question was because one of the answers to my questions mentioned fake news
  • I don't think people are saying fake news, but propaganda is being used by both parties, which doesn't help those caught in the conflict. The conflict has been going on for years in the Donbas region and no one in the EU backed an eyelid, both sides were training child soldiers, parts of Donbas already looked like a bomb site prior to this, I watched programs years ago. The Russian news channel was showing this before the BBC pulled it, Watch Ukraine on Fire to see the history of Ukraine and the US involvement.
  • The war itself is not fake news - the cause of it is. As was mentioned by someone else, we're talking propaganda here. Propaganda is "a lie that contains just enough truth to make it sound believable." The conflict over the Donbas region has been explained many times here but has always fallen on deaf ears that want to believe Western propaganda. Just a couple of years ago, Ukraine was a corrupt country that conspired with Trump to investigate Trump's political opponent (or so it was falsely claimed). Suddenly, the moment Russia comes anywhere close, Ukraine is magically transformed into a persecuted country that needs America's help to protect it. There's been a "Hatfield and Mc Coy" feud going on between America and Russia ever since the Cold War and as long as they remain superpowers, it will never end. That's the reason Ukraine can go from "corrupt nation" to "persecuted nation" so quickly. America hates Russia more than Ukraine's corruption and so Western propaganda is infused into the brains of easily-influenced sympathy junkies. Everyone talks about one's right to sovereignty when it comes to opposing Russia, but where are the proponents of self-determination when it comes to the Russian loyalists in the Donbas region that want to go back to Russia? Their voices are never heard. Putin doesn't want all of Ukraine - only the part that wants to go back to Russia. But that isn't good enough for NATO and the West - for them, even the pro-Russians are excluded from self-determination.
