Zakharov: the Western media often lying, covering the events in the East of Ukraine
The Western media often lying, covering the events in the East of Ukraine, with the only source of information for them remains the official Kyiv, told LifeNews Deputy Director of the Department of information and press of the Ministry of foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova.

Westerners there (in the East of Ukraine - ed) simply no, they do not illuminate the other side of the conflict, and the data is taken only from the official Kyiv and all, " said Zakharov. As an example, she cited a recent incident, When more than four hundred Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border and asked for help from the Russian side.

" the same day the plane, the Ministry of defence, which flew in the Rostov region, was ready to take on Board a group of foreign correspondents for a day trip. We started to gather such a group. When me through the hour brought the list, I couldn't believe my eyes. In addition Bloomberg was not a single American journalist. But if the reporter refuses to communicate with the source, then Vsplanet question: what information are based materials CN the CN, the new York times and where do they get this data, " said Zakharov.

Another example is the special press-conference of the head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, organized at the end of July." When We results did monitoring publications, We found that one of the Central international news is not conveyed from the press conference nothing. When We called them up and asked why, the correspondents said that they have enough of one photo Lavrov. I would even use the word bias, somewhere - well, pure lies, " said the representative of the Russian foreign Ministry.

She also recalled a recent incident When a television channel Euronews incorrectly gave the message Lavrov about the organization of the Russian humanitarian convoy and its border with Ukraine." Central European media misinforms people! We demanded a retraction and a public apology, " said Zakharov. By her expression, " the only question that remains is whether such an intentional bias "." Currently, there are already a number of clich?s for lighting Ukrainian events. All the texture, for example, is the introductory words " likely, " " appears, " have information " in order to absolve themselves of responsibility for providing information, " said the Commissioner, the Russian foreign Ministry.
