The Minister of Culture of Ukraine, Oleksander Tkachenko, has proposed to the rest of the countries of the “free world” that they move away from Russian culture and prohibit their representatives from moving freely.
“I think the first thing is to ban Russian representatives of media and culture from traveling in the free world,” Tkachenko launched on Ukrainian television. “The world community should distance itself from Russian culture so as not to fall under the influence of propaganda messages,” he insisted.
Tkachenko has ironized that if these people value the “Russian world” so much, the taiga or Siberia, “where Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu travel, are” worthy places for a culture that has freedom as a delusion”.
Tkachenko has conceded that Ukraine is winning the information war, as the media and foreign intelligence agencies say, but he has wondered “why Russian channels are still represented in the European space and especially in Asia and Latin America. “.
“We still have something to fight for,” emphasized Tkachenko, who despite being critical of this presence of the Russian media in other international spaces, has described the Moscow narratives as “quite primitive.”
“It’s the same repetitions. However, despite the obvious propaganda clichés, with extensive funding it pays off. And the free world continues to invest in broadcasting in Russian,” protested Tkachenko, author of other proposals such as the one to elaborate ‘blacklists’ of Russian authors.
