\nWhenever a criminal case hits Ukrainian politics, one tactic is instantly deployed: claim the mantle of the main opposition\u2014ideally, the only one.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Presently, the information space is beginning to make a strange kind of noise: attacks are not targeting the source of the accusations but are being aimed sideways\u2014at those completely uninvolved in the case.<\/p>\n

While Yulia Tymoshenko must respond to the investigation’s questions, her media mouthpieces have decided that the real problem is not NABU or SAPO, but\u2026 European Solidarity.<\/p>\n

Convenient. Very convenient.<\/p>\n

This is an attempt to create an alternative reality: supposedly, the criminal case should be seen not as a corruption issue, but as a \u201cpolitical attack.\u201d The narrative suggests that it is not law enforcement officers asking the questions, but some \u201cscoundrels\u201d and malicious opposition figures. This is a classic technique\u2014fire into the air, but blame the neighbour.<\/p>\n\t\t
