Abstract

Abstract This chapter discusses two events that are related closely to the takeover of Crimea. The civil war in Ukraine that started with protests in southeastern regions of the country in spring 2014 and the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in the territory controlled by the separatists in summer 2014 are major events contested by the US and Russian governments and, by extension, the respective media of the two countries. Whereas the MH17 downing is discussed through the analyses of the two separate media, for the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, it was decided to take a parallel look—wherever possible—at how both media sources reflect on the same issues within this conflict.
