MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. Russia’s Foreign Ministry
Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has released evidence that Ukraine had organized an
event dedicated to propaganda and fake news declaring it as part of a session
of the United Nations’ Committee on Information, she wrote on Facebook on
Saturday.
"I am publishing a screenshot of the card of
Ukraine's Permanent Mission to the United Nations inviting to the event on the
fight against propaganda and fake news, where it is written in black and white
that it is held under the auspices of the UN Committee on Information. And
also, video of four statements of the committee’s chair who was trying to
explain to the Ukrainian delegation in presence of other members of that body
of the UN General Assembly that it was not so and that the committee had not
authorized any events," Zakharova said.
The diplomat suggested that Russian representatives
might ask the UN to release video footage showing how persons invited by
Ukraine were threatening a Russian diplomat.
"By the way, do you think if we will be able to
get CCTV recordings at the UN Secretariat showing how camouflaged people were
pestering and photographing our diplomat on the sidelines of that ‘session’? I
think we should try," she noted.
Earlier, Zakharova told reporters that participants
in Kiev’s military operation in southeastern Ukraine threatened a Russian
diplomat with death at the United Nations headquarters.
According to her, the incident took place on May 9,
following a meeting on propaganda and fake news arranged by the Ukrainian
delegation, which it claimed to be part of a session of the UN Committee on
Information. The Russian diplomat expressed confidence that the incident was
"part of Kiev’s information efforts negatively illustrated by the
Mirotvorets [or Peacemaker] website, which still exists, where the personal
information about staff members of the Press and Information Department at the
Russia Foreign Ministry." "Everything that the Ukrainian mission did
is in line with Kiev’s policy aimed at intimidating Russian diplomats working
in the information field," Zakharova noted.
