MOSCOW, September 29. /TASS/. In Western countries, where the press has an undeniable pro-Ukrainian bias which borders on "Kiev brainrot," media outlets are deliberately ignoring reputable reports about planned provocations from Ukraine, told that under no circumstances are they to give them any credence, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, citing this as yet another display of clear double standards.
"What is most astonishing is that as soon as these publications attracted attention, the very same Western press, this highly 'Ukrainized' media, plagued by a 'Kiev regime brain disorder,' began shouting that no one must take notice of such reports in the Hungarian press, that they must not be quoted or referred to because they are supposedly not official, but merely opinion pieces," Zakharova said in a broadcast on Russia'sChannel One.
"This is astonishing. These words are coming from Western journalists, including foreign agents funded by Western money, insisting: 'Don't you dare cite media reports.' An extraordinary situation. So it turns out that nobody is allowed to quote freely published articles that describe a forthcoming provocation with references to data and facts. But when it comes to reports such as those by the BBC about Bucha, which were presented outside any factual context and framed as a mythologized narrative by British television, not only is it permitted to cite them, it is mandatory. Imagine what kind of 'non-double standards' those are. This is absolute cynicism, for all to see," Zakharova stressed.
