Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov commented on the publication by Bloomberg about Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine. He stated this on the air of the YouTube channel “Solovyov Live”.
“This is just an outrage, it defies any explanation,” the diplomat said. He noted that the south-east of Ukraine has become a hot spot, which all parties should treat carefully and not give provocateurs chances to inflate the conflict.
On February 5, an article about the “beginning of the invasion” of Russia into Ukraine appeared on the Bloomberg website by mistake. Later, the publication apologized for publishing false data. The agency clarified that they are now investigating the circumstances of how such false and provocative material could appear on the site.
Later, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov called the American media a serious publication and added that now, against the background of such publications, the Kremlin has every reason to replace the definition of the term fake-news with Bloomberg-news.
