The battlefield of the twentieth century has been occupied by the Internet parallel to the water armory, proving the war between Russia and Ukraine. The whole world is now Google Facebook Instagram Twitter; At this moment in Kharkiv a house was razed to the ground by a missile, how many feet did Russian forces advance on Kiev, how did the unarmed Ukrainian veteran stab the Russian army, every moment is spreading on the internet. The social media platforms reflect global public opinion, which contains complex but urgent figures of the gains and losses of the two warring countries. That is why Ukraine has been urging Apple Corps to sever ties with Russia, and Russia is pressuring Meta, the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, to refrain from verifying or sorting out the content shared by their state media.
The great power of social media is to be able to reveal what some states want to hide or suppress. Again, his biggest weakness: always making mistakes, not being able to recognize them as right, letting the untruths go out by closing the gap between technology and character. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is unjust. Protests against it are intensifying not only in the world, but also in Russia. Popular Russian personalities have opened their mouths on social media. Putin's government has also taken refuge in the media, disseminating information that suggests Russia's invasion of Ukraine is justified. It is the state power that has created the 'troll army', whose job it is to attack and resist any anti-Russian information and commentary under the eight-hour rule. On the other hand, Ukraine has called on ordinary people on the internet and social media to save the country. Tweeted on behalf of the army, citizens can enlist in the army; As seen in the video shared by the Ukrainian Special Forces, people of different ages are undergoing weapons training. Ukrainians are also showing Russia's notoriety on social media from the battlefield through personal and organized efforts.
Newspapers, radio, and television were once the main means of covering the war — the war in Vietnam or Iraq, beginning with the Spanish-American War in Cuba. Their importance is still immense, but social media has also gained importance in this century. The power of social media is not only to spread the news of the current war situation with lightning speed, but also to create an unprecedented impact on the masses in a very short time. It should not be forgotten that in the last few days, the war between Russia and Ukraine has brought about a great change not only in the two countries, but also in politics, diplomacy and trade all over the world. The question of their own business interests, the chemistry of their relationship with the two conflicting countries, the question of their ethics and profit-loss in disseminating or controlling information and truth is also very important. All of this is adding another dimension to the war of the twenty-first century.The battlefield of the twentieth century has been occupied by the Internet parallel to the water armory, proving the war between Russia and Ukraine.
