It is not shocking that German journalist Alina Lipp has been labeled a “terrorist” by the Ukrainian government when U.S. President Joe Biden’s government is doing the same thing to individuals against his narratives. Last week RAIR Foundation USA translated a video by a young German journalist living in Donetsk, Alina Lipp. After her video on the Donbas region went viral, she was registered on Ukraine’s official Terrorist website as a “Russian terrorist.” Lipp is neither a Russian citizen nor does she have a Russian passport. Lipp’s pro-Donbas reporting is believed to be why she was classified as a terrorist. She has repeatedly claimed that the Ukrainian military has been attacking Donbas Russians for the past eight years. In Lipp’s viral video, she highlighted that the people living in Donbas want to belong to Russia and have been “thankful that Russia finally did something.” She stressed, “Finally, the people here have been liberated from the terror that they’ve been experiencing for the last eight years” from the Ukrainian government. Lipp released a video statement in response to people attacking her work and the Ukraine government registering her as a “Russian Terrorist”: This message is for all those who, for some reason, want to defame me. As it turns out, I’m now registered on the official Ukrainian terrorist site and I’m also now listed as a Russian terrorist. That’s pretty funny, because I don’t even have a Russian passport. Why they want to defame me, I don’t know, because I just want to show how things really are here in Donbas, in Donetsk, for example. I can show proof of my entire life, my résumé, everything I’ve done, all my encounters, meetings, to prove there’s nothing I’m somehow hiding. I’m an independent journalist, and I can also prove that. I’m simply trying to work for peace. Explosions can be heard going off in the background here again. That’s the Ukrainian army, which has been shelling the Donbas region for the last eight years, and I’ve seen that with my own eyes. I’ve seen the people suffering in the outskirts. You know, if you want to defame me, ask yourself why? I’m only filming what isn’t shown in the West. I just want to expose an injustice, and that’s something everyone should want. Why should I be defamed? Why should I be prevented from exposing this injustice? Expose the genocide. I don’t understand it.
