Ukraine: Watching the war on Russian TV – a whole different story
The war in Ukraine has led to outrage in the West, but in Russia TV viewers see a very different story….
Later in the morning, at 08:00 Moscow time, we tune in for the morning bulletin from television channel NTV, which is owned by a subsidiary of Gazprom, a Kremlin-controlled firm. It concentrates almost exclusively on events in Donbas, the region in the east of Ukraine where on 24 February, Russia stated it was beginning its “special military operation” to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine.
