According to Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Western countries are waging an information war not only against Russia but also the entire international community. The entire world is suffering from Western propaganda in the form of fake news about the Ukraine conflict, says Nebenzia.

Nebenzia further noted that Western coverage of the conflict is typified by “a huge number of ‘fakes’ about the activities of the [Russian] military, as well as about the goals, objectives and motives” of its campaign in Ukraine, according to a report by RT. “It’s no secret that the West has launched a real information war against us, which affects not only the residents of Russia and Ukraine but also people around the world,” he reiterated.

“Just as Western weapons are now targeting cities in the Donbass and the liberated territories, Western propaganda is firing ‘information shells’ at its own citizens,” he claimed. This propaganda by the media is an onslaught and harmful to ordinary people, who “are losing touch with reality, become distressed and confused” when being overwhelmed with an endless barrage of falsehoods. They also lose the ability to think critically, he claimed.
