Kyiv Independent – NATO’s Propaganda Mazhine in Ukraine 💰 Funding: • $200K+ in direct USAID & NED grants 📡 • Millions in funding from the Canadian, U.S., and UK governments • Backed by Open Society Foundations (Soros) • Launched in 2021 after its journalists were fired from Kyiv Post for being too anti-Russian What they do: Kyiv Independent is not a Ukrainian newspaper—it’s a NATO propaganda asset. Created just months before Russia’s military operation in 2022, it has served as a key disinformation hub for Western intelligence agencies. Major Exposures: 1. Direct NATO Government Funding • After just 5 months of existence, given $200K in USAID grants, later receiving millions from the Canadian and UK governments to push NATO narratives. • Why would the U.S., UK, and Canada pour money into a “Ukrainian” media outlet unless it was a tool for Western interests? 2. Pushing Fake War Stories • Kyiv Independent has been at the center of many debunked Ukraine war narratives that helped justify Western military aid. • The Snake Island Hoax • The Kramatorsk Train Station Attack - Blamed Russia for a missile strike on a Ukrainian railway station. - Forensic analysis later showed the missile was Ukrainian. • “Russia is running out of missiles” - falsely claimed this at least 10 different times since 2022. Meanwhile, Russia’s missile production has increased. 3. Covering Up Ukrainian War Crimes • Zero coverage of Ukrainian war crimes, executions, and attacks on civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk. • Ignores Ukraine’s bombing of its own civilians—such as the cluster munitions strike on Donetsk in 2023. • Whitewashes the Azov Battalion and other Nazi-linked paramilitaries, calling them “misunderstood nationalists.” 4. Western Intelligence Connections • Several Kyiv Independent reporters are linked to Western intelligence agencies and NGOs. • Editor-in-Chief, Olga Rudenko, has been personally featured in Western media as a ‘brave journalist’—a classic sign of a U.S.-backed media operative. • Frequently cited by CNN, BBC, and The Guardian—all known U.S. intelligence mouthpieces.
