From early October 2015,
Ukraine Today began broadcasting video digests produced by the Ukrainian
fact-checking project 'Stopfake.org'. The most interesting and discussed false
news of the week will be included in the digest and, of course, debunked.
The
website Stopfake.org was created in the wake of the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, accompanied by a ruthless information war, Ukraine Today reports.
The authors of the project are graduates and teachers
of Kyiv Mohyla School of Journalism, who say their aim is to combat
false information about Ukraine in the Russian, Ukrainian and Western media by
refuting fakes that are distributed by these media.
Now the StopFake project has grown into a whole media
outlet with a presence on social networks, a
website translated into several languages and a YouTube channel.
With the battle for people's hearts and minds going
on, volunteers and media professionals say they have no aim to stop the war
with fabricated stories and biased reports about events in Ukraine.
