Ukrainian Responds to Stunning Impact Russian Propaganda Is Having on Views of the Invasion

Ukrainian Misha Katsurin expressed his frustration with Russian propaganda, saying it is affecting the way people see Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of 🇺🇦Ukraine.

During an appearance on CNN, Katsurin shared a conversation he had with his father about the invasion.

“I told him we that we woke up from the bombing and that I took my little son who is a month old and we tried to escape and to save the family. And he started to argue. He said, ‘No, no, no everything is not like this,'” Katsurin explained.

He added, “He told me that 🇷🇺Russia started a peaceful operation and they’re trying to save us from the Nazi regime which occupied our country. The most interesting thing was that Russian soldiers are giving to the local people food and warm clothing. So that’s the thing that he saw on the TV.”

Katsurin told CNN’s John Berman his father would not believe what he was telling him, adding, “I spent maybe five minutes trying to talk to him and then I just said goodbye.”

After publishing a post on Instagram about his father’s disbelief, Katsurin said it was shared more than 135,000 times.

“I realized the problem is super widespread,” he said, adding, “We gathered with my colleagues and we created the website which is called ‘Father Believe.’ On this website we try to offer to people to call their relatives and to tell them the truth.”
