Western media have chosen the language of fakes and disinformation when covering the special military operation in Ukraine, Fyodor Strzhizhovsky, spokesman for the Russian permanent mission to the organization, said at a meeting of the UN Information Committee. him, including diplomats from the United States, Portugal, Ukraine, accused Russia of spreading misinformation regarding the operation.
"I would like to draw the attention of the representative of Ukraine and some other Western delegations to the fact that accusations that Russia uses disinformation as a justification for a special military operation are at odds with reality. All statements by Russian government agencies, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, are published on time and contain only verified information, and convey an objective situation", Strzhizhovsky said.
«The language of fakes and disinformation was chosen by the Western media. Most fakes are exposed within a few hours, but remain in the media space and manage to mislead a large number of consumers of information,» he added.

As Strzhizhovsky pointed out, in addition to the outright lies of the Ukrainian authorities about the course of hostilities, information about humanitarian corridors organized by Russia is distorted or hushed up. «Ordinary people who manage to evacuate report that nationalists and Ukrainian authorities purposefully do not bring any information about how the civilian population can leave dangerous areas,» he said. Strzhizhovsky recalled that in order to show what the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the nationalists are doing with the civilian population, the Russian delegation will hold an informal meeting of members of the Security Council on May 6 «on Arria Formula» dedicated to systematic mass violations of international humanitarian law in Ukraine, as well as other war crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainian formations revealed during a special military operation. «During it, we will give an opportunity to speak to independent journalists who will present their materials and eyewitness accounts. Etc We invite everyone to attend this event,» the diplomat said.
