The Belarusian state television channel CTV called Ukraine “the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine” in its report.
The corresponding screenshot was posted on his Facebook page by journalist Yuri Smirnov. It shows that the news about the coronavirus in Ukraine was titled “Former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic”. (to see the photo, scroll the page to the end).
The journalist added that they call Lithuania (the former Lithuanian Soviet Republic) and Poland (the former People’s Republic of Poland) similarly.
“Now is the turn of Lukashenka’s harsh response to Ukraine’s actions. Do you think there are mirror sanctions? No. An economic blockade or a breakdown in diplomatic relations? Where is it … Worse and dumber? – Smirnov wrote.
In turn, the deputy for European Solidarity Aleksey Goncharenko described it as a provocation.
“On Belarusian state channels, Ukraine is called” the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic “. It is an open provocation,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Users of social networks perceived such actions of the television channel with irony. They think they could have invented something more original.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Belarusian diplomats described the statements of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and other senior state officials on the situation in Belarus as “hostile gestures” and “attempts. to interfere “in the internal affairs of his country.
Recall that the United States, Canada, Ukraine, and several EU countries declared that Lukashenka’s secret “inauguration” was illegitimate, as the election results were falsified.
