What’s wrong with criticism of the Chornomorsk port concession: we analyze fakes and manipulations
In early May, the Ukrainian publication “Telegraf” published two articles on the same day criticizing the terminal concession project in the port of Chornomorsk. Loud statements about the “dismissal of port workers” and “backroom discussions” attracted the attention of other media outlets of a similar nature: the “Fakty”, “Gordon”, UNIAN.
Whether the author of both articles was driven by ordinary ignorance or a more cynical motivation — we do not know. However, we want to explain in an accessible way why such concession statements are fake and manipulated. USM analyzed the manipulative takes from both articles — with the help of Andriy Sokolov, the director of Ukrainian Shipping Magazine.
