A Four Corners documentary aired by ABC on Monday night on Russian soldiers on the frontline has sparked controversy and accusations of spreading Russian propaganda. The Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia criticized the documentary as 'Kremlin propaganda' and labeled the program as 'pro-Putin and pro-violence'. He has demanded a meeting with the network's boss to discuss the issue. Further criticism came from various sources, accusing ABC of granting 'unprecedented access' to Russian narratives and presenting content that aligns with Russian perspectives, thereby promoting propaganda. Concerns were raised about the potential implications of such a portrayal.
ABC now doing propaganda for the Ruzzian invaders… pathetic and shameful https://t.co/jHUezMRwuK
Why is @abcnews showing and promoting Russian propaganda produced by RT that extolls murderers, torturers, rapists, toilet-looters and kidnappers of children. On top of which they have turned off replies on this hell site. @abcnews, you are sickening and revolting.

ABC, how did you gain “unprecedented access” to these vatniks? What did you promise? Obviously, it was to present only what Russia wants shown. Meaning ABC is now spreading Russian propaganda. https://t.co/Id6aQRvliL
