Like the West, Russian media is closely following the fears of conflict in Ukraine. However, the Kremlin-controlled media has a different story about the country that started the conflict.
Russia's media is projecting Ukraine as an aggressive country preparing to launch unprovoked attacks on areas controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.
Pro-Kremlin media say that the Kiev government is being provoked by Western countries who hate Russia.
The Kremlin media may be ridiculing fears of a Russian attack on Ukraine, but media messages here are designed in such a way as to convince the public that even if Russia does attack, it will. It would be the right move.
charges against Ukraine
For the Kremlin media, Ukraine is a country full of evils. For years, the Kremlin media has accused the Kiev government of having Nazi leanings and campaigning to persecute Russian-speaking people.
Therefore, the recent accusations by the Kremlin media on Ukraine that it can unprovoked attacks on civilians living in rebel-held parts of the Donbas region is nothing new to Russian audiences.
Some separatists living in former Ukraine backed by Moscow have also often made similar allegations. For example, Denis Pashlin, the main rebel leader of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, appeared on a Russian news channel and said that Kiev had deployed all the attacking forces of the Ukrainian military to the region as a preparation for the attack.
Eduard Basurin, another separatist from the Donetsk region, was shown on TV alleging that Ukraine was preparing to target civilian infrastructure.
The result of these allegations is that now well-known people are demanding the intervention from Russia.
On 26 January, the main TV channels broadcast an appeal made by Andre Turchak, a key member of the United Russia party.
In this appeal, Andre said, "Peace-loving civilians are being slaughtered. At the same time, the western country is provoking the government of Ukraine to attack directly in Donbas. Give them the necessary help by giving them some special types of weapons.
Amid claims by Russian media of possible attacks from Ukraine, US officials have warned that Russia may be preparing for a 'false flag operation' to justify its military offensive in Ukraine. False flag operations are campaigns in which the identity of the perpetrator is completely hidden and the responsibility is passed on to someone else.
Threat from Russia "Imaginary"
Kremlin supporters outright reject the possibility of Russia attacking Ukraine.
For example, State TV's Channel One dismissed the threat as "fictitious", and the presenter of the channel's political talk show did not laugh at the allegations of "current Russian aggression" against Ukraine. Be able to stop
Deployment of one lakh Russian soldiers on the border with Ukraine is not an issue at the moment that should go unnoticed. Even if it is discussed, it is an attempt to send the message that Moscow is free to deploy its troops anywhere in its territory.
The Kremlin's state media also denies that Russia is involved with separatist groups in eastern Ukraine. The media here has justified Ukraine's annexation of Crimea in 2014, presenting it as an "integration" of Russian territory.
conflict with the west
The escalating dispute with Ukraine is seen by the Kremlin's media as a major part of the long-running conflict between Russia and the West.
Ukraine is also being projected as a country that has failed to follow its independent policy and hence the Western countries who hate Russia run it at their behest.
Russian officials have developed their separate terminology to present their argument. This officer alleges that Western countries are uniting Ukraine to join their military alliance and fill arms in the country.
The US and Britain are seen as arch opponents of Russia and are often compared to 'Anglo-Saxons'. Anglo-Saxon groups lived in England during the Early Middle Ages. It is believed that this group also wanted to take over Russia. Now the Russian media compares Britain and America with the same group.
