Foreign Ministry of Ukraine

Oleh Nikolenko, speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, criticised the French channel France 24 for a story from the occupied territory of Ukraine about the training of the Russian military.

Source: European Pravda, Nikolenko's post on Twitter.

Quote: "The France 24 report on Russian troops preparing to kill Ukrainian people is [a] disgrace to journalism. Going to occupied territories without Ukraine's consent violates Ukrainian legislation, and those who participate in such actions will be held accountable by the law," he said.

Background: The film crew of the France 24 TV channel visited a training camp of Russian occupation forces fighting an aggressive war against Ukraine.

As a result, the TV channel removed the story without mentioning that the Russian military is carrying out illegal aggression against Ukraine. Instead, in the material, the Russian army boasted that their weapons were better than Western ones, in particular, Leopard tanks.

One of the heroes of the story also said that he "defends the history" of his country with dignity. Another Russian soldier said that he was not afraid of a counteroffensive by Ukrainian troops.

After the publicity, France 24 deleted the controversial story, and the Ukrainian ambassador to France, Vadym Omelchenko, reacted to the channel's material, which contained elements of Russian propaganda.

Comment: There's nothing 'controversial' about the report, although the incident seems to reveal that France24's editorial board is apparently overseen by Ukraine's Foreign Ministry.

VooDoo6 Ukraine is upset because the topic of the war has been hushed up in the media around the world.

What is the reason?

People's fatigue. The French are demonstrating all the way, you know, but our Czech neighbors, for example, have also started to protest strongly.

Feel sympathy for France 24 / Médias Monde ? - The State Owned parti pris of crooked invention.

It's the same as France sucking up to Israel. Any country favored by the United States can dictate foreign policy media, news coverage, and public opinion to France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Britain - all the countries of the EU and NATO, except Hungary. Spineless wimps, all of them.

On many SOTT posts, I see people bashing Nations and worry we lump the good people in these countries with the really bad ones. There are good people in all of these places like these journalists just trying to tell a story. Problem is the same everywhere, the evil people not wanting truth to get out. Evil France, Evil US, Evil Ukraine. The real problem is the Evil people in control of these places. The TRUTH is out there. Just need to find the WAY to wake people up.

TruthSeekerOfTheWay,

Faith is not a belief. Faith is what is left when your beliefs have all been blown to hell.

The eye is the window of the soul, the mouth the door. The intellect, the will, are seen in the eye; the emotions, sensibilities, and affections, in the mouth. The animals look for man's intentions right into his eyes. Even a rat, when you hunt him and bring him to bay, looks you in the eye.

2 Chronicles 7:14

New International Version

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

He doesn’t say all people, just his people.

TruthSeekerOfTheWay Forgiveness the root to all evil, for one cannot allegedly be good unless the church forgives one and they have the monopoly on that

Interesting to know about this lady's past but using the "anti-Semitic" canard these days when it means "true" is inadvisable.
