Indicate Russia’s role in the war with the wording “Russia’s war in Ukraine” and/or ���Russian invasion of Ukraine”, especially in captions, headlines, leads and hashtags.#
Don't overuse the phrase “Putin’s war”. The silent majority of Russians – roughly 60 percent – support the war. During the first week of the war, public support for Putin in Russia grew from 60 to 71 percent.#
The quasi “republics” in Donbas are not another armed side of the conflict. They operate as part of the Russian army and mercenaries fighting in Ukraine. Using terms like “separatist-held areas” is therefore incorrect. Please consider using “Russian proxies”.#
Russian propaganda is not just “strategic communication” or another point of view, it is using disinformation to justify killing thousands of civilians and continuing a completely unprovoked war.#
By focusing on “expansion” (the war as a proxy one between Russia and the West), the media are perpetuating the Kremlin’s justification for war and ignoring the democratic voice of the Ukrainian people who wish to live in peace, free from Russian aggression.#
Engage and hear Ukrainian experts. We ask that you include Ukrainian experts, or those who have lived and worked in Ukraine, in the journalism you publish about the war.#
