Situationen i Ukraina just nu, del 4

A Banderist march has erupted in Kiev on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of the original Maidan, which precipitated a coup de etat of the democratically elected leader Viktor Yanukovich who was violently overthrown and forced to flee Ukraine.

Infamous "Svoboda" and "Pravy Sektor" parties took place, among other nationalist organizations who have become well known for nefarious activities both in Ukraine and in the battlefield against the Donbass.

Eyewitnesses say several thousand participants are taking place.

Ukrainian industry is falling apart because of the blockade of the Donbass coal supply, and the crisis in the steel industry will affect the whole economy of the country, writes the Ukrainian edition of "Vesti".

[...] if the blockade did not stop immediately, in the next two or three weeks, "The link in the chain will break, effecting almost all the energy and heavy industry."

The latest edition of StopFake News with Jim Kovpak. This week’s fakes include Russian claims that the US and Canada are ending military cooperation with Ukraine; Russia’s man in the UN says no one in the Security Council supports Ukraine and how about those 700 tanks in occupied eastern Ukraine… where did they come from?

On March 2, 2014 Kyiv Mohyla Journalism School lecturers, graduates and students along with the KMA Digital Future of Journalism project launched the Stopfake.org fact checking site.

Journalists, editors, IT specialists, translators, all those who cared about the future of Ukraine during this dangerous time of the annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine joined the project.

Initially the goal of the project was to verify and refute disinformation and propaganda about events in Ukraine being circulated in the media. Eventually the project grew into an information hub where we examine and analyze all aspects of Kremlin propaganda.

We not only look at how propaganda influences Ukraine, we also try to investigate how propaganda impacts on other countries and regions, from Syria and Turkey to the European Union and countries which once made up the Soviet Union.

Our team of media professionals is constantly growing. Today we fact-check, de-bunk, edit, translate, research and disseminate information in ten languages: Russian, English, Spanish, Romanian, Bulgarian, French, Italian, and Dutch, Czech and German.
