The association of Ukrainian media, journalists and public organizations “Mediarukh” calls on the world’s media associations to condemn the propagandists of the Russian Federation, as Polish journalists did, reports on the website of the public organization “Internews-Ukraine”.
“On August 24, 2022, the Association of Polish Journalists published a strong statement regarding Russian propagandists, who should be held accountable as war criminals… “Mediarukh” calls on world journalistic organizations and national media associations to support the position of the Association of Polish Journalists and, as a united front, seek fair punishment for all those whose efforts, the propaganda machine of the Kremlin works at full capacity and every day leads to hundreds of innocent victims and destruction,” – reads the statement posted on Friday.
“Mediarus” emphasizes that “Kremlin propagandists should answer to the same extent as the Russian military” for calling for the murder of Ukrainians, justifying the war crimes of the Russian army, misinforming the population of the Russian Federation and the world community.
The statement of Polish journalists, in particular, states that “Russian propagandists posing as journalists, such as Margarita Simonyan, Vladimir Solovyov, Dmitry Kiselyova, Olga Skabeeva and many others, should be tried as war criminals after the fall of Putin’s regime.” .
