🇷🇺 Lavrov: West Using Fake News Against Global South

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Western governments and media of using misinformation and information pressure to undermine Russia and other countries in the Global South.

Speaking at an international forum on combating fake news in Moscow, Lavrov argued that modern technology allows unverified or fabricated reports to reach millions of people rapidly. He said Western governments were using such tools, alongside sanctions, tariffs and diplomatic pressure, to counter the emergence of a multipolar world order.

Lavrov also criticized Western coverage of the Ukraine conflict and disputed widely reported accounts surrounding the 2022 Bucha killings, calling for greater scrutiny of the available evidence.

The statements reflect Moscow’s longstanding criticism of Western media and information policies.
