One of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s closest allies has slammed western legacy media reports of an imminent Russian invasion as “obviously fake news” that has actually served to harm Ukraine.
David Arakhamia, the head of the “Servant of the People” faction in Kiev’s parliament, made the comments during an interview on the TV channel 1 + 1.
Asserting that the crisis would all be over in a matter of weeks, Arakhamia said U.S. media propaganda was just as bad as Russian propaganda.
“I think that when that phase is over in two or three weeks, we should make a retrospective analysis of how large, very well-known media began to spread information worse than Olga Skabejeva and Vladimir Solovyov,” said Arakhamia, referring to two allies of Vladimir Putin.
“Obviously fake news in CNN, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal … We have to study this, because it’s part of a hybrid war,” he added.
The Ukrainian party leader noted that Ukraine was merely being used as a pawn in an attempt by Russia to get a new security agreement.
Arakhamia also blamed legacy media “fake news” for negatively impacting the Ukrainian economy, with the false invasion rumors costing the country up to $3 billion dollars a month.
As we highlighted earlier, Czech President Miloš Zeman slammed the constant false claims that Russia is about to attack as a massive “embarrassment” to the U.S., comparing it to the failure to find WMD in Iraq.
“As for the U.S. intelligence services, this is their third embarrassment. The first was in Iraq, where no weapons of mass destruction were found. The second was in Afghanistan when they claimed that the Taliban would never conquer Kabul. Well, the third is now,” Zeman said.
Meanwhile, Russia has enjoyed laughing at the United States over their relentlessly hysterical fake warnings of war.
“Today we mark another day of the ‘start of war with Ukraine,’ which did not happen again, to the Western media outlets’ regret, no matter how hard they whip up the hysteria,” said Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
The tweet was accompanied with a video of tumbleweeds.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken channeled Colin Powell during a UN speech in which he asserted (with no evidence) that Russia was planning a chemical attack as a false flag pretext to invade.

– We do not see Russia drawing down forces
– Forces preparing to launch attack against Ukraine in coming days
– Russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack
– Russian pretext could include fake or real attack using chemical weapons pic.twitter.com/mGrPxpeKL0— TRT World Now (@TRTWorldNow) February 17, 2022
