Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
| Truly a lesson in high sarcasm follows, dear Reader. |
The journalist, with links to the original statements, writes:
Radio New Zealand initiated an editorial audit in connection with the alleged "pro-Russian" editing of 22 stories that contain language that does not correspond to the US State Department approved discussion points. Reference to the Maidan as a coup d'état was removed in one article.
Another RNZ article is under consideration because it failed to adequately justify the Ukrainian government's raid on an Orthodox church and the arrest of a priest for speech offences.
There are no state-backed neo-Nazis in Ukraine. The patches they wear show Hindu symbols of wisdom. We apologize to our readers.
Russia did not annex Crimea after the popular referendum. It never happened. We apologize for even mentioning it.
We are extremely concerned that a "pro-Russian" editor has mentioned that the US is stockpiling weapons to Taiwan. You must not know what is happening. We apologize for the inappropriate context.
Perhaps the US is not fanning the flames of war by sending weapons to Ukraine, this is just China's assertion. We apologize for the inappropriate statement.
