Ukrainian Official Slams Western Media, More...

Top Ukrainian official slams Western media
RT


American mass media has spread fake news about a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, hitting the country worse than any purported disinformation on Moscow’s part, a close ally of the Ukrainian president has said.

David Arakhamia, the parliamentary faction leader of Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, told NV on Tuesday that he thought recent panic about an invasion would fizzle out in a few weeks, and blamed American outlets for needlessly stoking fears.

“I think that in two or three weeks, when this phase vanishes, we should do a retrospective analysis of how giant, extremely well-known media outlets began spreading information worse than [Olga] Skabeyeva and [Vladimir] Solovyov,”Arakhamia said, referring to two Russian TV hosts known for their support of the Kremlin, whose shows are prohibited from being broadcast in Ukraine on the grounds that they spread disinformation.

“Blatant fakes in CNN, Bloomberg, the WSJ… we should study this, because these are elements of a hybrid war,” the politician went on.
