The head of Ukraine’s diplomatic mission in the USA stressed the importance of counteracting Russia’s blatant propaganda and lies, which is nothing more than a smoke screen to cover its crimes and avoid justice for human rights and freedoms’ violations in occupied Crimea, including a discriminatory policy towards the indigenous people of the territory – the Crimean Tatars.
Yuriy Stets announced the launch of a new Ukraine’s TV channel that will broadcast abroad in English, Russian, Ukrainian and the Crimean Tatar language as well as briefed about other projects of his Ministry.
He expressed his appreciation to Ukrainian community of the USA and Americans for their consistent support of Ukraine and urged them to be even more active in fighting Kremlin’s propaganda because it is high time for so-called information volunteers.
