The reality behind Russian "humanitarian" claims - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
Russian propagandist Alexander Malkevich released a staged report from the occupied village of Toshkivka, presenting its ruin as a story of "reconstruction." Dramatic music, heroic voice-overs, and selective framing attempt to sell an image of care and progress. Before Russia's invasion, over 2,000 people lived in Toshkivka. Today, barely a hundred remain. Monthly food handouts are shown as "aid," while responsibility for the devastation is shifted onto Ukraine. In this episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński explains how ruin is repackaged as generosity and how occupied villages become propaganda sets instead of places for people to live.
