Ukraine War – Series, intention

-Intention of the three-part article series-.

(DE: April/Mai 2022) My intention of writing this series of articles on the war in Ukraine is, as a contemporary witness, to record for future reference unfiltered what I observe, what goes through my mind, what information I obtain, what research reveals and what I felt in these first months of the war in Ukraine.

I have dealt with three phases or focal points within this period in three articles.

Part 1: In the first article, “Disbelief and confusion before the war”, I set out my view of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the weeks and days leading up to the attack and record the questions that troubled me at the time.

Part 2: In the second article, “Snapshots in the Year of War 2022”, I deal with various phenomena and pressing questions that emerge from the events, reporting, public discussion and my own research in the first few months of the war.

Part 3: In the third article, “The Resurgence of the Cold War Propaganda”, I try to identify propaganda and manipulation from the Western side. As a German citizen living in Germany, I am mainly influenced by German media, politicians and other opinion makers, not by the Russian side. We know from history if there is a war, all parties involved usually use propaganda. The old saying, “The truth dies in war first!” is no coincidence.
