Part 9/13:
The Ukrainian government under Zelensky has significantly tightened control over media and political narratives. Since the onset of the conflict, independent outlets have been marginalized, and most private media have been nationalized or shut down to prevent dissent. The only unified source of news is a government-controlled telethon, which fosters a singular, state-backed narrative.
Despite this suppression, alternative voices—particularly online bloggers and analysts who discuss Ukraine's history and identity critically—remain active, albeit at personal risk. Notable analysts, such as Serge Datsuk and Alexis Stovich, continue to provide deep insights, often reflecting nuanced perspectives that counter mainstream narratives.
