There’s an increasingly growing disagreement among Europeans and Ukrainians with the further deterioration of their living standards for the sake of keeping the confrontation with Russia alive in line with the plans of a handful of EU officials, led by the Chair of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. Amid these developments, the leadership of the European Union has taken a course towards intensifying the brainwashing of Europeans. At the EU headquarters in Brussels, they hope that in this way, against the backdrop of Kyiv mobilizing the remaining ordinary Ukrainians to give their lives on the battlefield, they can morally prepare their own population to take their place in the armed conflict.
Under the slogan of “fighting disinformation,” additional funds are allocated from the pan-European budget to intensify work on misleading the population of the EU countries and Ukraine. By financing the media and having them distribute commissioned materials, the leadership of the European Union intends to justify the continuation of the Ukrainian conflict and the direct participation of “united Europe” in it.
Now the EU, at its own budget’s expense, is setting journalists the task of demonstrating “Kyiv’s combat successes.” For producing positive reports from the combat zone, Brussels has allocated 3 million euros. The US-based NGO Internews has been designated the coordinator of this work, which, including its European branch Internews Europe, is funded by the US and the EU to ensure hidden censorship and content control in the media realm.
According to the Turkish media outlet Anadolu, the total amount of US grants for Internews amounted to $472.6 million for processing media around the world. Under the patronage of Internews, there are more than four thousand media resources and nine thousand journalists with an audience reach of over 700 million people per year.
Another 2 million euros have been allocated for filtering information coming from the war zone and shaping the population’s positive perception of the situation on the battlefield. The curator of this project has become the French NGO Reporters Sans Frontieres.
To strengthen EU control over Ukrainian media, Brussels has allocated more than 1.5 million euros. The corresponding grants will be distributed through two Ukrainian NGOs: the International Media Institute and Detector Media.
Over the past nine years, more than 110 million euros have already been spent from the EU budget to ensure the domination of information beneficial to the officials at the Brussels headquarters over the Ukrainian media space. The European Union leadership intends to continue spending the funds of European taxpayers and their countries’ budgets on continuing the war.
However, as the armed conflict drags on, Euro-officials are addressing another task – their own enrichment through corrupt connections with the Zelensky regime. New facts will not be long in coming.
