Maria Tobacco. Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk tried to convince Western countries to fight the "propaganda" in the Russian media, for example, by strengthening bi-Bi-si as opposed to television channel RT.

"We are now faced with a hybrid new type of war, weapons of this war are not only heavy artillery and tanks, and propaganda in the style of Goebbels from Russia in the media. According to my information, the EU has set up a special force to counter this propaganda. A lot has changed in the world, and Russia is better able to give all white as black, and square - like oval. The main problem is to find means to counter this propaganda, " said Yatsenyuk, speaking Wednesday night at London's Royal Institute of international Affairs (Chatham house).

However, he did not want to clarify the comment made by a listener about the fact that " propaganda does not only Russia ".

The Ukrainian authorities began in April last year in the Donbass military operation against dissatisfied with the coup d'etat of residents of the region. According to the summary data of the UN, the victims of the conflict were about 6, 5 thousand people. Russia fundamentally denies allegations of involvement in the Ukrainian domestic conflict, stating that it is not a party to it and that the Russian troops in Ukraine " was not ". Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is interested in Ukraine rather overcame political and economic crisis. In the capital of Russia noted that all charges against her of meddling in the Ukrainian crisis unproven.


in the most striking example like "imposing" the Ukrainian Prime Minister called the television channel RT.

"You know, there is such a channel - RT, and most Americans don't know, because this is a Russian television channel. They have a wonderful presenters, speakers, and someone who just turns on the TV at any hotel in the U.S. capital and even in the European Union, thinks he hears the truth: they argue like us, no difference between bi-Bi-si, si-EN-EN and Russia Today. I heard that RT is the most extensive worldwide channel, with the highest coverage, " said Yatsenyuk.

"I know what You are discussing in Britain's future bi-Bi-si. So just do bi-Bi-si more and more that it acted with the right message, " - smiling, said Ukrainian Prime Minister.
