Helping Our Partners
The war in Eastern Ukraine is happening on the battlefield as well as in the informational realm. The two sides of this military conflict, Russia and Ukraine, are trying to shape public opinion in their own countries as well as abroad. Depending on the leaning of a media outlet, its audiences see very different pictures of this crisis.
The spring of 2020 will mark six years since Russian-backed fighters seized government buildings in two eastern Ukrainian cities and proclaimed the independent Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (D/LPR). The ensuing conflict, which has claimed over 13,000 lives, continues to fester, with neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian government thus far willing to take decisive steps to end it.
Power, oil pipelines, egos and media biases have resulted in innocent lives being unimaginably impacted. Thru IPHC and their partners in these areas, we will be bringing help and hope to these impacted Ukrainians.
