16:33 Outro
The issues of right-wing radical movements, political violence, and hate crimes in Ukraine exist, as in any other European country, and it is vital to properly cover such threats to human rights. However, considering how the Kremlin propaganda has managed to exaggerate them and justify the full-scale war by the need to fight “neo-Nazism” in Ukraine, Ukraine must be cautious while addressing politically motivated violence. Expert discussion at UCMC’s press center shed a light on how to properly talk about these issues, and this is what Ukraine in Flames 153 is all about.
