Russian propaganda's latest: Cringe-worthy fake video of alleged 'African fighters' execution
Kremlin propagandists have produced another cringe-worthy fake video, this time depicting the alleged execution of "African fighters" by Ukrainian defense forces, which Russians are eagerly sharing on their "Z channels," according to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov.
In this cinematic “masterpiece,” several Black "mercenaries" of the alleged "Ukrainian Armed Forces" are portrayed as deserters, prompting other "Ukrainian soldiers" to put them "up against the wall."
“Why didn’t you, African asses, stay in your shithole? We don’t talk much to deserters. Finish them off,” one of the supposed Ukrainians commanded in broken Ukrainian surzhyk (a Ukrainian–Russian pidgin), after which the bound actors were "executed" with all the realism of a B-movie.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
