WATCH IN ENGLISH<\/a><\/p>\n

As an ex KGB agent Putin knows quite well that to be credible any piece of information needs to be confirmed in at least two unconnected sources. So what does he do when the world stops believing the Kremlin\u2019s blatant lies about Ukraine? That\u2019s right, he spreads them through \u201cunconnected\u201d Western media outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n

On March 1, 2014 a Swiss-based internet TV provider Klagemauer.TV \u00a0aired a special video report on Ukraine titled \u201cTerrorist actions of peaceful protesters<\/a>\u201d. The principal message of the 13-minute video: \u201cDuring Euromaidan protests in Kiev [sic Kyiv] peaceful policemen were regularly brutally beaten and shot at by extremist armed radicals\u201d. The heroic police, in other words, was the innocent victim of the ruthless terrorists.<\/p>\n

To anyone with at least a superficial knowledge of the real facts this report is nothing but a primitive, blatant and immoral lie. It is a cynical manipulation of facts, carbon-copied from the Russian propaganda. It is beyond criticism. It is below ethics and morality.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of eyewitnesses\u2019 videos, openly available on YouTube, aptly demonstrate the inhumane attacks of those \u201cpeaceful\u201d policemen on protesters in Kyiv. None of these blood-chilling footages can be seen in Klagemauer\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

Yet propaganda, no matter how brutal, always has a way of finding its viewer. The German version of Klagemauer\u2019s video has already been viewed on YouTube by over 214,000 viewers; its Russian dubbed version<\/a> \u2013 by over 713,000.<\/p>\n

Putin is happy: the seed of suspicion successfully planted in the European minds; his credibility firmly corroborated in the Russian ones (\u201cSee, I\u2019m not making things up \u2013 European media also saw terrorists in Ukraine!\u201d).<\/p>\n

The Kremlin, thanks to its unscrupulous Western media allies, claims another victory in its all-out information war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
