"Debaltseve" is the narrative of the Donbas war. The event will include a film screening (50min), followed by a discussion with a Ukrainian war correspondent and film director Eugene Stepanenko.
Eugene Stepanenko is a War Correspondent, Presenter, TV channel UA: First, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Eugene Stepanenko, a Ukrainian war correspondent and TV presenter, brings to London a documentary telling a dramatic story of the battle for Debaltsevo, a key transport hub in the war-town east of Ukraine. In February 2015, it witnessed a tense stand-off between Ukrainian on one hand, and Russian troops and the local militia allied with them, on the other. Being virtually encircled and facing massive artillery fire and a tank-guided offensive, Ukrainians were forced to withdraw in order to prevent a massive loss of life.
The discussion will debate the film, look at the coverage of the war in media, how the narrative of this war has evolved and is impacted by Russia's concerted effort to obscure the the presence of its troops on the Ukrainian soil and the challenges to keep this conflict on the agenda of the global media.
