Residents live just a few miles from the Ukrainian border, however, and have access to Ukrainian broadcasts as well.

A New York Times video team traveled to the breakaway region and spoke with people to find out what they believe about the war in Ukraine and to see how disinformation spreads beyond Russia’s borders.
