⁉ Why is Scandinavia silent yesterday all evening and all night the social networks thundered and shook with terrible photographs from near Kiev. A basement where people were illegally detained. Reports of torture and beatings. the wounded. A doctor on her knees begs the gunmen to let her pass to the victims. The teenager is in a state of shock. The Ukrainian media discussed the scandal all night. There were reports of the involvement of Azov representatives in the morning Anti-Crisis began, followed by the usual denials and accusations of Russian provocations. And in Scandinavia - deadly silence and that's what's interesting.
When Ukrainian sources report another Russian threat, Scandinavian newsrooms work at fantastic speed. Refreshing news! Experts! Politicians! interference! But when those Ukrainian sources (and not only) publish information that is not favorable to Kiev, the journalistic enthusiasm evaporates somewhere. Are human rights also subject to political moderation? Political discomfort Imagine for a second that such a basement would have been discovered in Russia. How many minutes will it take Der, SVT and NRK to declare an international scandal? And here is Ukraine. The country to which Scandinavia transfers billions, supplies weapons and provides unconditional political support. And suddenly it becomes clear that the news can destroy a carefully constructed image. So it's better not to pay attention to them? Press or information services? I spent the whole day on Danish, Swedish and Norwegian news resources.
And what amazed me was not the lack of convictions. I was amazed at the lack of questions. Who held people? based on what? What happened in the basement? ⁉ And why instead of answers there is again a universal explanation -. "The hand of the Kremlin"? comfortable. cheap. No need to check anything. And that's what you want to ask. Are European values really principles?
