這幾天不斷傳出克里米亞、東烏克蘭人歡迎俄羅斯軍隊，渴望成為俄羅斯一部份的新聞。這份來自烏克蘭當地抗爭者的聲明，闡述了這些訊息是「普丁的骯髒宣傳」，列出以下七點釋疑：
「一、普丁宣稱克里米亞的俄羅斯人有危險，而出兵『保護』，但事實是並沒有俄羅斯人受傷，東部居民也走上街頭反對普丁的『保護』；
二、烏克蘭並沒有『充滿納粹』，俄羅斯狙擊手射殺烏克蘭警察以栽贓給西烏克蘭的納粹團體；
三、有證據顯示俄國派2000名『走路工』到東烏克蘭冒充歡迎俄國的群眾，插俄羅斯國旗至東烏克蘭政府機構的男子，也被查出可能來自莫斯科；
四、克里米亞長期收看俄羅斯電視台，可能受俄國錯誤資訊所影響；
五、一些出現在克里米亞，宣稱來自西部抗爭團體的武裝份子，很可能是俄羅斯人冒充；
六、俄羅斯大量啟用『網軍』在社群媒體上散播『謠言』；
七、強調語言矛盾在烏克蘭並不嚴重，雙方也已在近日發起行動宣示友好。」

我初步想法是：
雖然我也沒有充分的資訊可供確認，但就普丁在俄羅斯國內搞政變的經驗、和現有提出的證據，要說他能耍出這些小手段，我傾向相信作者的說法。這至少提醒我們在看到媒體呈現的克里米亞居民的反應時，能再多設想一下資訊準確度。
另方面，作者提出克里米亞居民遭俄國「媒體壟斷」而受蒙蔽，因此才傾俄這點，我持保留態度。但作者提到他與克里米亞居民互動的經驗，及部分東部居民上街反普丁這點值得關注，這都是不可忽略的部分事實。

下面是我速譯的譯文，我英文很爛xD。敬請指正。
「所有我們的外國朋友，請分享這篇文章來對抗骯髒的俄羅斯宣傳！把他傳給你當地的媒體、記者……等等。你將可以協助避免這場戰爭！
我們是積極參與當下抗爭的烏克蘭人。對烏克蘭人來說，普丁正在國內、和國際上打一場骯髒的資訊戰爭，向整個世界散播謠言！
這個世界應要知道以下這些俄羅斯正在欺騙你們的主要事實：
一、普丁宣稱克里米亞的俄羅斯人已經被烏克蘭的極端分子所傷，這也是為什麼俄羅斯說他們以武力占領克里米亞是要去「保護」那些說俄語的人──而這在昨天已經遭到所有合法機構，包括政府、警察、人民的完全否認。烏克蘭人認知到普丁可以輕易地開啟戰爭（就像在喬治亞一樣），所以他們不去回應俄羅斯軍隊正在進行的挑釁行動。直到現在，那裏還沒有任何一個俄羅斯人受傷，而且當地使用俄語的烏克蘭人是絕對地反對普丁「保護」他們。這幾天，他們拿著寫有「普丁！我們是俄羅斯人，且我們不需要你的保護！」的海報，在全國各地走上街頭。

二、所有的烏克蘭人都不能相信，都已經二十一世紀了，這個地球上怎麼會還有任何人相信烏克蘭充滿了納粹？整個烏克蘭都在為自由與獨立而戰，這個世界的其他地方的人們可以理解我們就僅僅是愛著我們的家鄉，且不希望他被他自己的那個已經偷了所有最後一點預算資金的總統給惡劣地對待，且現在我們甚至無法將烏克蘭兒童從癌症中拯救出來，就好像整個醫療計畫都被取消？
而且，甚至在我們失去了一百名被俄羅斯狙擊手殺害的抗爭者（狙擊手殺了手無寸鐵的行動者，甚至殺害警察來算作是烏克蘭納粹所為），而被我們視作英雄的世界各地的你們，卻仍懷疑我們對俄羅斯干預的關注是沒有根據的，這讓所有烏克蘭人感到深深地悲傷。
三、俄羅斯的宣傳是如此強大，以致昨天有些東烏克蘭城市充滿了拿著俄國國旗的抗爭者，他們大聲咆嘯且製造衝突地說：他們希望他們的城市成為俄羅斯、而非烏克蘭的一部份。最終，那裏出現將近兩千名俄羅斯人搭著巴士（掛著俄羅斯車號）來到東部城市，參與了這場挑釁行動。而所謂的把俄羅斯國旗掛上政府部門的「烏克蘭行動者」，如同他在社交網站上被查到的，似乎來自於莫斯科。

四、那些所謂烏克蘭正在「經歷」的問題，也是由普丁所捏造出來的。克里米亞有部分是講俄語的烏克蘭人，部分是克里米亞韃靼人，但他們一點也不想成為俄羅斯的一部份！
俄羅斯正在演一場戲，去述說克里米亞是如何想成為俄羅斯的一部份，並在俄羅斯電視台（整天在播！）上告訴他們烏克蘭其他地區全都是納粹，他們會來嚴苛地對待克里米亞，摧毀他們的家園和繁榮。這聽起來很沒道理，但克里米亞是講俄語的，他們年復一年地看著俄羅斯電視台，以至於他們開始相信西烏克蘭及首都的我們的確是瘋狂的。事實上，他們只是想被聽見，他們希望烏克蘭政府能更好地對待他們（之前由亞努科維奇領導的政府出售了他們所有的土地給寡頭和俄羅斯），但這些都是可以由烏克蘭自己解決的問題，不需要俄國干預。我們有很多朋友在克里米亞半島，我們親自跟他們說話、理解他們的情緒，他們不想要這場戰爭，最重要的是，他們希望普丁在這個全國籠罩著恐懼的時刻，能讓他們獨自面對。
五、克里米亞現在有許多武裝部隊進駐。同時，也有一些非法的部隊強攻軍事結構和政府建築，並說他們是「Selfdefence」，這意味著這些男孩來自EuroMaidan（基輔廣場上的抗爭名稱）、來自基輔廣場，但事實上，他們手持著一種不會在烏克蘭使用、僅會在俄羅斯使用的武器。最大的可能是他們的目標是製造混亂，來說明納粹如何從烏克蘭西部入侵新的領土，而俄羅斯軍隊就能以英雄之姿，捍衛自己的俄羅斯公民。

六、這種情況是非常複雜的，但只有一件事至為明確：普丁正在撒謊，因為他知道他唯一可以取勝的戰爭就是訊息戰。網路上現在充滿了被收買的部落客和留言機器人，正在積極地評論，以分裂烏克蘭。
新聞每天都會出現，比方說烏克蘭的警察和軍隊支持俄國人。烏克蘭人在社交網站上分享這些新聞和恐慌，且在晚上，我們了解到這些訊息與真相無關。昨天我們受到一個非常強烈的信息衝擊，這載有不實取向的信息分散了社會的注意力，它顯示東烏克蘭如何希望與俄羅斯締結關係，但今天，成千上萬的烏克蘭人來到東部城市的街頭，表明他們希望成為烏克蘭的一部份，他們反對戰爭及普丁的「保護」。
七、語言問題在烏克蘭，也並非如俄羅斯媒體所說的那麼艱難。必須說明的是，我們並不在乎講什麼語言。幾天前，在利沃夫（這是烏克蘭認同的中心）就宣布，他們將會在那一天中只說俄語，以向東部人表示他們的愛和欣賞，即使他們彼此講不同的語言。同樣地，在Donetsk，其中大多為說俄語的人，也決定在其中一天說烏克蘭語。講俄語的烏克蘭人及生活在烏克蘭的俄羅斯人，在過去這些天共同走出來，讓世界知道，他們從來沒有因為他們所說的語言而被惡劣地對待，因為和平和寬容是烏克蘭人的本性。這也同時顯示他們並不需要俄羅斯的保護，因為他們無論如何並不危險。
謝謝你過去這些日子對烏克蘭的支持，我們希望情況可以快速好轉，且普丁可以帶著他的軍隊回去俄羅斯，永遠別再回來。我們將會盡速回到藝術的工作，只要我們是安全的。希望能獲得你的理解。」

原文如下：
All our FOREIGN FRIENDS please SHARE to fight dirty russian propaganda! Send it to your local press, journalists etc. You would help to PREVENT WAR!
We are ukrainians who are actively engaged in what's going on in Ukraine now. Now it is absolutely obvious for all ukrainians that Putin is making a dirty information campaign on national and international level, pushing disinformation all over the world!
THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW THAT MAIN THINGS RUSSIA IS LYING ABOUT ARE:
1) Putin claims that russians are being injured in Crimean peninsula by ukrainian extremists and that is why Russia occupied Crimea with its military forces 'to defend their russian-speaking people' - this was totally denied yesterday by all legal structures, government, police, people.. Ukrainians realize Putin can make war easily (like in Georgia) so they do not react to all the provocative actions russian military troops are conducting. Till now there are zero injured russians, moreover local russian-speaking ukrainians are absolutely against Putin 'defending' them..They come to streets these days all over the country with posters "Putin! We are Russians and we don't need your defense!" https://
2) The whole Ukraine can not understand - how on Earth can anybody in XXI century believe in existence of country full of Nazi??? The whole Ukraine was fighting for freedom and independence, can the rest of the world understand that we just love our home country and don't want it to be treated so badly by its own president who have stolen every last piece of money from budget and now we can't even cure ukrainian children from cancer as the medical program is cancelled??
And even after we lost one hundred protesters that were killed by russian sniper (who shot activists without weapon and even policemen for statistics that they were shot by ukrainian Nazi) and all ukrainians were in deep grief for our heroes the rest of the world still have doubts that our concerns about russian intervention are groundless?
3) Russian propaganda is so strong that yesterday some cities of Eastern Ukraine were full of protesters with russian flags, they were yelling and making fights saying they want their city to be part of Russia, not part of Ukraine. Eventually there appeared to be near 2 thousand of russians that came to eastern cities by busses (with russian car numbers) that were engaged in this provocative event. So-called Ukrainian activist that put a flag of russia into governmental building appeared to be from Moscow as he was detected in social networks - https://
4) The problems that Ukraine is 'experiencing' are made up by Putin as well. Crimean people are partly russian-speaking Ukrainians, partly crimean tatars, but they don't want to be part of Russia at all! Russia is staging a theatrical play to show how crimeans want to be part of Russia and telling them on russian television (all the time!) that the rest of Ukraine is full of Nazi that will come and badly treat crimeans destroying their homes and prosperity. This sounds nonsense but as crimeans are russian-speaking they watch russian television year after year and they start to believe that we are insane here in Western Ukraine and the capital.. In fact they just want to be heard, they want to be better treated by ukrainian government (as the previous government headed by Yanukovich sold all their lands to oligarchs and russians), but those are the problems that can be solved by ukrainians themselves without Russia being involved. We have many friends in Crimean peninsula, we personally spoke to them to understand their moods. They don't want this war and most of all they want Putin to let them alone as the whole country is covered in fear now..
5) There are many military troops in Crimea now. At the same time there are some illegal troops that take by storm ukrainian military structures and governmental buildings saying they are Selfdefence (meaning boys that came from EuroMaidan, from Kiev Main Square), but in fact they are armed with weapon that is not being used in Ukraine, which is used only by Russian militaries..Here is also a picture https://
Most probably their aim is to make chaos to show how Nazi from Western Ukraine are invading new territories and then russian militaries appear as heroes to defend their russian citizens.
6) The situation is very complicated, but there is only one clear thing - Putin is lying as the only war he knows he can win is informational war, internet is full of pre-paid bloggers, bots that comment aggressively to split ukrainian nation, the news appear every day saying that for instance ukrainian policemen and militaries sided with russian ones. People all over Ukraine share these news in social networks and panic, and in the evening we get to know this information has nothing to do with truth. All ukrainians are very stressed as too much shocking and dirty information is in circulation.. Yesterday we had a very strong informational attack containing tones of untruthful information to distract society and show how East of Ukraine wants to be with Russia, but today thousands of ukrainians came to the streets of Eastern cities to show that they want to be part of Ukraine and that they are against war and 'defense'.
7) The language question is also not so critical in Ukraine as it is showed in Russian press. To show that we don't care which language to speak several days ago Lviv (which is the center of ukrainian identity) announced they would speak russian language only for a day to show East that they love and appreciate each other even though they speak different languages. The same was done in Donetsk (which consists mostly of russian-speaking people, who decided to speak ukrainian for a day as well). Also russian-speaking people and russians that live in Ukraine go out these days to let the world know that they have never been treated badly in Ukraine because of the language they speak as ukrainians are peaceful and tolerant by nature. This way they also show they don't need Russia to defend them as they are not in danger in any way.
Thank you all who support Ukraine these days, we hope the situation gets better soon and Putin goes back to Russia together with his army and never comes back here again. We will get back to all art stuff as soon as we all are safe. Hope for your understanding)
