Be skeptical about media coverage of Ukraine
By Rajan Laad
If you have been monitoring the coverage of the conflict in Ukraine, it is amply clear that a narrative is being pushed.
President Volodymyr Zelensky is being compared to Winston Churchill during World War II; he is leading his people during perilous times to become an inspiring figure. He refused a safe passage offer from the U.S. with the quip: "I need ammunition, not a ride." He streams videos from the deserted streets of Ukraine and posts photos with his Cabinet. Photos of Zelensky surface in military gear on the battlefront. To sum it up, Zelensky is being portrayed as Churchill, Rambo, and a social media influencer all rolled into one.
Not to be left behind, a former Miss Ukraine and the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelensky, reportedly joined the army. There are teary moments of Ukrainian soldiers bidding farewell to their families and children in the streets waving at them as they depart for war. There were photos of Russian soldiers holding Ukrainian girls as hostages. We see harrowing footage of injured Ukrainian children, slain Ukrainian soldiers, and explosions. We see courage as a brave Ukrainian child stands up to a Russian soldier, almost ordering him to leave her country.
