Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the issues related to not objective/objective and balanced information about the so-called Ukrainian crisis in Western media. The attention is paid to the issues related to the information about Ukraine, to the choice of information sources, the impartiality of journalists, the relevance and meaningfulness of thorough analyses of the objectivity of such news content, etc. The criticism of the Western media related to the Ukrainian crisis, is, however, connected with the commercial nature of media's function, with the difficult orientation in the causes and consequences of Ukrainian crisis and the limited possibility of verifying information, and with the fragmentation of the media audience, and so on.
