Russia will not be asking for formal apologies from the Western news outlets that set various dates for a Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine only to see their predictions proven wrong, Moscow has declared.
“This is not a place for some apologies game,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday when asked about confronting the spread of fake news.
What Moscow does want from Western media, and from the anonymous sources who had been feeding them dates, even times for a Russian attack, is a “more serious, responsible and truthful approach,” he said. News outlets that have been relaying invasion claims apparently “don’t care about their reputation and are prepared to see it dragged through mud,” Peskov added.
The spokesman said he can hardly imagine people who would trust some of the reporting on Russia that’s been published in Western media lately, and hoped their readers and listeners would learn better after the failed predictions. “At least our audiences simply laugh at them,” he said.
