Lithuania Weekly: Anti-Ukraine Sentiments

During this reporting week, Kremlin-aligned media outlets focused on criticising Ukraine and everything that’s related to this country. Outlets kept on minimising Ukraine’s capacities, proposing an incoming loss in the battlefield, blaming the country’s officials and armed forces for corruption and generally discouraging support for Ukraine, basing it on the fact, that, allegedly, it’s ineffective and other countries have already made the ‘smart and reasonable decision’.

by Urtė Andriukaitytė

Main narratives:

  • Ukraine’s victory is elusive;
  • Support for Ukraine is ineffective;
  • Other countries have already withdrawn their support;
  • Ukraine is prioritised over Lithuania;
  • Ukraine is the most corrupt country and cannot use support for it properly.
