Russia is busy suppressing anti-war protests in Korea, but Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is effectively using social media to mobilize the people, so Ukraine is already winning the information war, CNBC reported on the 1st (local time).
In Russia, the chairman of the Duma (House of Representatives) came out and claimed that Ukraine’s key leaders, including President Zelensky, had already fled Kyiv, but President Zelensky is leading the information war with Ukraine by proving that he is in Kyiv through YouTube.
President Zelensky announced to the world that he was in Kyiv on the 25th of last month on YouTube after Russia claimed that the Ukrainian leadership had left Kiev.
“All the Ukrainian leadership is in Kyiv,” he said in a YouTube video. “We are all here,” he said. We are here defending our independence and our country, and we will continue to do so. Glory to Ukraine.”
In addition to this, he uses social media effectively to accept donations from Ukraine around the world, and unites the people.
On the other hand, Russia is in a hurry to prevent anti-war demonstrations in Korea. However, anti-war protests are spreading day by day.
According to CNN in the US, a total of 2,692 people have been detained as of the 1st for anti-war protests in Russia. The first demonstrations were held in 57 cities in Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, on the 24th of last month, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Human Rights Watch, a global human rights organization, claimed that the number of detained protesters exceeded 3,000.
Russia has not been able to effectively block the anti-war demonstrations in the country.
Russia is also conducting propaganda campaigns against Ukraine. Key leaders have left Kiev, and they are inducing agitation among the citizens, saying that Kyiv will soon fall.
However, the Ukrainians regard this as a lie and are resolute in their will to fight.
At least in information warfare, it is overwhelming Ukraine and Russia, CNBC analyzed.
