DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Western media silent about Ukrainian attack on Zaporizhzhia NPP

SUMMARY

The Western media have completely ignored Ukrainian attacks against the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. The West is literally blocking its own propagandist media from covering this incident. Instead, the same outlets are ordered to praise the criminal actions of the Kyiv regime, including its attacks on nuclear facilities.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative painting Western or "mainstream" media outlets as subordinated to corporate, government, or other vested interests.

The drone attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhia NPP was instantly and extensively reported by virtually every major English-language outlet in the world, including the BBC, CNN, Reuters, France 24, Deutsche Welle, The Washington Post, ABC News, The Guardian, and countless others.
