As NBN reports with reference to the Voice of America material, according to the head of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications Nikolai Tochitsky, while the war in Ukraine does not stop, the telethon “Unified News” needs to continue to function stably.
According to Tochitsky, this controversial telethon is needed to promote “unified approaches”, the purpose of which is to smash the propaganda disseminated by the Russian Federation in relation to Ukraine.
In particular, the official believes that “Unified News” may turn out to be the very platform on which it is possible to “pronounce” and simultaneously refute hostile the Kremlin narratives embedded in various periods of Ukraine's development, thereby creating “strategic communication of the present, not only for the outside world, but also within.”
Tochitsky summed up:
And without a real discussion of the processes that are taking place, it will be quite difficult to win this war.
Earlier, we wrote about the amount of funds the Rada will allocate from the 2025 State Budget for social support of citizens.
